Woof is a website that contains style guides and information about how to design each element of the Daily Bruin newspaper. It will be used by the Design section to teach new designers how to design the paper and keep designs consistent over time.
This example shows how you can use a MongoDB database to support your Next.js application.
Pet is an application that allows users to add their pets' information (e.g., name, owner's name, diet, age, dislikes, likes, and photo). They can also delete it or edit it anytime.
Once you have access to the environment variables you'll need, deploy the example using Vercel:
Execute create-next-app
with npm, Yarn, or pnpm to bootstrap the example:
npx create-next-app --example with-mongodb-mongoose with-mongodb-mongoose-app
yarn create next-app --example with-mongodb-mongoose with-mongodb-mongoose-app
pnpm create next-app --example with-mongodb-mongoose with-mongodb-mongoose-app
In the case of MongoDB Atlas, it should be a string like this:
mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@my-project-abc123.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority
For more details, follow this MongoDB Guide on how to connect to MongoDB.
Copy the .env.local.example
file in this directory to .env.local
(which will be ignored by Git):
cp .env.local.example .env.local
Then set each variable on .env.local
:
MONGODB_URI
should be the MongoDB connection string you got from step 1.
npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn install
yarn dev
Your app should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.
You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and import to Vercel.
Important: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on Environment Variables and set them to match your .env.local
file.
Alternatively, you can deploy using our template by clicking on the Deploy button below.

File Structure
Development Configured the docker file
Docker is a
docker build -t woof .
- builds a docker image based on the dockerfile in the root directory with a tag called woof
docker does need the docker daemon (host) running. This is required by docker in order to create containers from the image template that was just built
docker run --name woof_contain -p 3000:3000 woof:latest
- runs a docker container based on the image we just created with the previous
docker build
command. - the -d tag runs the container in detached mode (container runs in the background, allowing you to still use the terminal)
- the -p option maps the port 3000 on the docker host to port 3000 on the container.
woof:latest
is the name of the docker image to use for the container, latest specifies the latest version of the image.--name woof_contain
is to name the container woof_contain- to build up a new container
docker stop <container_name>
docker start <container_name>
- to start an existing container
