Usage Examples
Overview
Usage examples show runnable code examples to demonstrate frequently used MongoDB operations. Each usage example includes the following:
Description of the MongoDB operation
Asynchronous and synchronous Rust code examples that you can run in your environment
Output printed by the code example
Tip
Asynchronous and Synchronous APIs
To learn more about selecting and using different runtime APIs in the Rust driver, see the Asynchronous and Synchronous APIs guide.
How to Use the Usage Examples
The usage examples are designed to run operations on a MongoDB deployment that contains the Atlas sample datasets. When you run the example code without the sample data, the output might not match.
Follow this tutorial to set up your MongoDB deployment with the sample data and run the example code in your development environment. Before performing the following actions, ensure that you create an Atlas account and deploy a cluster. For information about setting up an account and a cluster, see the Get Started with Atlas Guide.
Load the Sample Datasets
Follow the instructions on the Load Sample Data page to load the sample datasets into your database deployment.
Add the Usage Example Code to Your Development Environment
Copy the example code from the usage example page and paste it into a new file in your preferred directory.
To learn more about creating an application that uses the Rust driver, follow the Rust Driver Quick Start.
Replace the Connection String Placeholder
In your example code, replace the connection string placeholder with your MongoDB
deployment connection string. For example, if your connection string is
"mongodb+srv://mongodb-example:27017", your connection string assignment resembles
the following:
let uri = "mongodb+srv://mongodb-example:27017";
After completing these steps, you can see the output described in the Expected Output section of the corresponding usage example.
