Tip

Non-existent Databases and Collections

If the necessary database and collection don't exist when you perform a write operation, the server implicitly creates them.

coll := client.Database("insertDB").Collection("haikus")
docs := []interface{}{
	bson.D{{"title", "Record of a Shriveled Datum"}, {"text", "No bytes, no problem. Just insert a document, in MongoDB"}},
	bson.D{{"title", "Showcasing a Blossoming Binary"}, {"text", "Binary data, safely stored with GridFS. Bucket the data"}},
}
result, err := coll.InsertMany(context.TODO(), docs)
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
