MongoDBFinder

Purpose: To use a batch file to automate the process of entering commands into command prompt to connect to a MongoDB cluster through Mongo Shell in Windows 10.

There are two versions of this file: 1) MongoDBFinder_github.bat and 2) MongoDBFast_github.bat. Which one you use depends on how comfortable you are with cmd prompt. If you are comfortable with cmd prompt and have been able to connect to MongoDB with no issues, I would suggest that you go to 2) (it is less flexible but faster). If you aren't comfortable with cmd prompt, I would suggest that you go to 1) (it is more flexible but a little slower). Both require a little set up, but save you the headache of doing the process every time you need to connect to Mongo Shell.

What's the difference between MongoDBFinder_github.bat vs. MongoDBFast_github.bat?

After setup, MongoDBFast_github.bat uses a fixed, predefined file path to use mongo.exe, while MongoDBFinder_github.bat finds the location of mongo.exe in your computer every time, writes the file path itself, and then uses mongo.exe.

Make sure you have:

A Windows 10 computer
Downloaded the Mongo Shell zip from https://www.mongodb.com/ and extracted/unzipped the contents (preferably in the downloads folder).

1) MongoDBFinder_github.bat

First, go to https://github.com/Kxk162730/MongoDBFinder
Click on the green button with the download symbol that says "Code"
Click the "download zip" button
Navigate to the downloads folder on your computer and click save
Go to downloads folder, right-click on the "MongoDBFinder-main.zip", click extract all, make sure it is saving in the downloads folder, and click "Extract"
Double Click on the extracted folder "MongoDBFinder-main", and double click again on the folder "MongoDBFinder-main"
At this point you should see three files: MongoDBFast_github.bat, MongoDBFinder_github.bat, README.md
Right click on "MongoDBFinder_github.bat" and click "Edit"
Microsoft Defender SmartScreen might show up, click "more info", and then "Run Anyway" (If this makes you uncomfortable, you can copy the code of the batch file on the website and paste it into your own batch file)
Now you should see the code to the "MongoDBFinder_github.bat"
Erase the "mongo "mongodb+srv://cluster0.XXXXX.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase" --username XXXXXXXX", we will replace this with your own connection string on MongoDB.com
Leave the batch file open and open a browser
Next, go to https://www.mongodb.com/
login to mongodb, find the cluster you want to connect to, and click connect
click "Connect with the mongo shell"
click on the copy text icon on step number 3 (the icon will turn into a green check mark)
Next, go back to the batch file, and paste the connection string into the space where "mongo "mongodb+srv://cluster0.XXXXX.mongodb.net/myFirstDatabase" --username XXXXXXXX" was
Now save the file (file > save) and close it
If you want, you can move "MongoDBFinder_github.bat" to your desktop. This is optional
Double click on "MongoDBFinder_github.bat", wait a couple of secs for MongoDBFinder to find the mongo.exe, and enter in your password
Congrats! You have finally connected to your MongoDB cluster with Mongo Shell
Now and forever onwards, you can just double click this file and enter your password to reconnect
Limitations: you can't delete MongoDB shell download files

2) MongoDBFast_github.bat

First, go to https://github.com/Kxk162730/MongoDBFinder
Click on the green button with the download symbol that says "Code"
Click the "download zip" button
Navigate to the downloads folder on your computer and click save
Go to downloads folder, right-click on the "MongoDBFinder-main.zip", click extract all, make sure it is saving in the downloads folder, and click "Extract"

Now you should see the code to the "MongoDBFast_github.bat"
Although the batch file was made with the assumption that you downloaded MongoDB shell to the downloads folder and extracted it there, let's guide you through the process assuming that you haven't
erase the line after the command cd, leaving only a space Before: "cd C:\Users%username%\Downloads\mongodb-shell-windows-x86_64-4.4.5\mongodb-win32-x86_64-windows-4.4.5\bin" After: "cd " <- notice the spacing! it is important!
Leave the batch file open
Next, open up command prompt (press windows key, type "cmd", open the cmd prompt) although we won't be using it for intended purpose, its drag and drop feature will allow us to find the file path of THE BIN FOLDER containing mongo.exe
navigate to THE BIN FOLDER containing mongo.exe and drop-and-drop the folder onto command prompt. It should have created it something similar to "C:\Users%username%\Downloads\mongodb-shell-windows-x86_64-4.4.5\mongodb-win32-x86_64-windows-4.4.5\bin", although not exactly.

Limitations: you can't delete MongoDB shell download files and you can't move the MongoDB shell download
