Install mongodb SDK

To connect and use your mongoDB on Azure Cosmos DB with JavaScript and mongodb, use the following procedure.

1. Make sure Node.js and npm are installed.

2. Create a Node.js project in a new folder:

   mkdir DataDemo && \
       cd DataDemo && \
       npm init -y && \
       npm install mongodb &&
       code .

   The command:

   • Creates a project folder named DataDemo
   • Changes the Bash terminal into that folder
   • Initializes the project, which creates the package.json file
   • Installs the SDK
   • Opens the project in Visual Studio Code
