MongoLearnPod

This a standalone educational GitPod module designed to teach people how to use basic CRUD methods with mongoDB.

Unit Learning Objective

Students should be to:

1. Teach Basic CRUD methods with MongoDB & GitPod
2. Use Docker Compose to start and stop mongoDB environment
3. Use Docker, Terminal & MongoExpress to teach basic mongoDB concepts
4. Distinguish between the name of a docker image (mongo) and the container name (learn-mongo)
5. Use NPM Scripts to store docker commands

Read and Code Along!

Assuming you are logged into github, then just click the button below. Phone, Tablet, Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook, as long as GitPod runs, you can learn how to code, anywhere!

Once GitPod has started up, just type mongo into the terminal and it should look something like the gif below.

Unfortunately, the fancy slideshow extension I just for this lesson doesn't work in gitpod... yet (stay tuned).

In the meantime, I recorded a short video of the lesson.

You can also view the slide on vscode with vscode-reveal. If you have the extension installed you can follow long with the fancy slideshow. Lastly, you can just read it in readme formate and it'll just look slightly less presentable...

Last but not least, I will be streaming lessons on my twitch channel so consider joining the lesson live.

What did you build

Today we'll be learning how to use Docker Compose to learn MongoDB.

Unit Learning Objective

Students should be to:

1. Use GitPod to startup a mongoDB environment.
2. Use docker exec to access the mongoDB Shell
3. Distinguish between the name of a docker image (mongo) and the container name (learn-mongo)
4. Use NPM Scripts to store docker commands such as docker exec for mongo shell

Using Mongo Shell to build a database

Type the following into a NEW terminal: mongo.

Conclusion

If you like it this repo and want to see more on this topic, give it a star.

If there is enough interest in it, I'll add it too the final draft of JavaScript-First which is an open source book that teaches people how to code with JavaScript using the node.js runtime environment rather than a browser and by the end, you will build a server and a website using JavaScript.
