Daily Bruin Design: Woof Features List

MongoDB and Mongoose with Next.js

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.

Deploy your own

Once you have access to the environment variables you'll need, deploy the example using Vercel:

How to use

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

Configuration

Step 1. Get the connection string of your MongoDB server

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.

Step 2. Set up environment variables

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.

Step 3. Run Next.js in development mode

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.

Deploy on Vercel

You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

Deploy Your Local Project

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.

Deploy from Our Template

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

the docker daemon in this case is the docker desktop app.

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

stopping the container from running

docker stop <container_name>

docker start <container_name>

• to start an existing container
