Detailed Description

Class representing a client connection to MongoDB.

Acts as a logical gateway for working with databases contained within a MongoDB server.

Databases that are created via this client inherit the read_concern, read_preference, and write_concern settings of this client when they are created. The lifetimes of objects created via a client object (databases, collections, cursors, etc...) must be a subset of the lifetime of the client that created them.

Example:

mongocxx::client mongo_client;
mongocxx::client mongo_client("mongodb://localhost:27017");

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

mongocxx::client::client ( )
noexcept

Default constructs a new client.

The client is not connected and is equivalent to the state of a moved-from client. The only valid actions to take with a default constructed 'client' are to assign to it, or destroy it.

mongocxx::client::client ( const class uri mongodb_uri,
const options::client options = options::client() 
)

Creates a new client connection to MongoDB.

Parameters
mongodb_uriA MongoDB URI representing the connection parameters
optionsAdditional options that cannot be specified via the mongodb_uri
Exceptions
mongocxx::exceptionif invalid options are provided (whether from the URI or provided client options).

Member Function Documentation

class database mongocxx::client::database ( bsoncxx::string::view_or_value  name) const

Obtains a database that represents a logical grouping of collections on a MongoDB server.

Note
A database cannot be obtained from a temporary client object.
Parameters
nameThe name of the database to get
Returns
The database
cursor mongocxx::client::list_databases ( ) const

Enumerates the databases in the client.

Returns
A mongocxx::cursor containing a BSON document for each database. Each document contains a name field with the database name, a sizeOnDisk field with the total size of the database file on disk in bytes, and an empty field specifying whether the database has any data.
Exceptions
mongocxx::operation_exceptionif the underlying 'listDatabases' command fails.

database mongocxx::client::operator[] ( bsoncxx::string::view_or_value  name) const

Allows the syntax client["db_name"] as a convenient shorthand for the client::database() method by implementing the array subscript operator.

Note
A database cannot be obtained from a temporary client object.
Parameters
nameThe name of the database.
Returns
Client side representation of a server side database
class read_concern mongocxx::client::read_concern ( ) const

Returns the current read concern for this client.

Returns
The current read_concern
void mongocxx::client::read_concern ( class read_concern  rc)

Sets the read concern for this client.

Modifications at this level do not affect existing database instances that have been created by this client but do affect new ones as databases inherit the read_concern settings of their parent upon instantiation.

Parameters
rcThe new read_concern
See also
https://docs.mongodb.com/master/reference/read-concern/
class read_preference mongocxx::client::read_preference ( ) const

Returns the current read preference for this client.

Returns
The current read_preference
See also
https://docs.mongodb.com/master/core/read-preference/
void mongocxx::client::read_preference ( class read_preference  rp)

Sets the read preference for this client.

Modifications at this level do not affect existing database instances that have been created by this client but do affect new ones as databases inherit the read_preference settings of their parent upon instantiation.

Parameters
rpThe new read_preference
See also
https://docs.mongodb.com/master/core/read-preference/
class uri mongocxx::client::uri ( ) const

Returns the current uri for this client.

Returns
The uri that this client was created with.
void mongocxx::client::write_concern ( class write_concern  wc)

Sets the write concern for this client.

Note
Modifications at this level do not affect existing databases or collection instances that have come from this client but do affect new ones as databases will receive a copy of this client's write_concern upon instantiation.
Parameters
wcThe new write concern
class write_concern mongocxx::client::write_concern ( ) const

Returns the current write concern for this client.

Returns
the current write_concern
