Overview

In this guide, you can learn about time series collections in the MongoDB Node.js driver.

Create a Time Series Collection

We recommend that you create a time series collection using the MongoDB Shell (mongosh). For detailed instructions on creating a time series collection using the MongoDB Shell, see our MongoDB Manual entry on time series collections.

Query a Time Series Collection

Since you query a time series collection in the same way you query other collection types in MongoDB, the Node.js driver has no features specifically for querying time series data.

For more information on querying data in the MongoDB Node.js driver, see the following resources:

Note

Window Functions

MongoDB version 5.0 introduces window functions into the MongoDB aggregation pipeline. You can use window functions to perform operations on a contiguous span of time series data. For more information, see the reference documentation for the $setWindowFields aggregation stage.
