TypeScript offers several benefits over regular JavaScript: Verify the installation: To verify that TypeScript is installed correctly, open a terminal or
command prompt and run the following command:
➢ Type Safety: TypeScript is a statically typed language, which means that it provides
type checking during development. This can help catch errors earlier in the tsc -v
development process, before they cause runtime errors.
This should display the version number of TypeScript that you just installed.
➢ Improved Code Quality: TypeScript allows developers to write more maintainable
and scalable code, as it provides features like classes, interfaces, and modules. This That's it! You have now installed TypeScript on your system and you are ready to start using
makes it easier to organize code, reuse code, and collaborate with other developers. it.
➢ Better IDE Support: TypeScript provides better tooling and IDE support than regular
JavaScript. This includes features like code completion, navigation, and refactoring. Basics of TypeScript:
This can help developers be more productive and write code faster.
Here are some basics of TypeScript:
Variables and Types: In TypeScript, you can declare variables using the let keyword. You can In this example, we have defined a class Person with a name and age property, as well as a
also specify the type of the variable using a colon followed by the type. For example: greet method that prints a message to the console. We have also created a new object john
of type Person.
let message: string = "Hello, TypeScript!";
Interfaces: TypeScript supports interfaces, which allow you to define a set of properties and
In this example, we have declared a variable message of type string. methods that a class must implement. For example:
Functions: You can define functions in TypeScript using the function keyword. You can also interface Animal {
specify the types of the parameters and the return type. For example:
name: string;
function add(a: number, b: number): number {
age: number;
return a + b;
makeSound(): void;
}
}
In this example, we have defined a function add that takes two parameters of type number
and returns a value of type number. class Dog implements Animal {
Classes: TypeScript supports classes, which allows you to define a blueprint for creating constructor(public name: string, public age: number) {}
objects. You can use the class keyword to define a class, and the constructor method to
initialize the object. For example: makeSound() {
greet() { }
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I am ${this.age} years old.`); let myDog = new Dog("Buddy", 5);
} myDog.makeSound();
} In this example, we have defined an interface Animal that has a name, age, and makeSound
method. We have also defined a class Dog that implements the Animal interface, and
let john = new Person("John", 30); created a new object myDog of type Dog.
john.greet(); These are just some of the basics of TypeScript. TypeScript also supports advanced features
like generics, decorators, and namespaces, among others.
Functions: console.log("Hello, world!");
Functions in TypeScript are similar to functions in JavaScript, but with added features to }
support static typing and other language features. Here are some key aspects of functions in
}
TypeScript:
In this example, we have defined a function greet that takes an optional parameter name of
Function Declaration: In TypeScript, you can declare a function using the function keyword,
type string. If name is provided, it will print a personalized greeting, otherwise it will print a
followed by the function name, parameter list, and return type (if any). For example:
generic greeting.
function add(a: number, b: number): number {
➢ Default Parameters: TypeScript allows you to declare default values for parameters
return a + b; by using the equal sign. For example:
In this example, we have defined a function named add that takes two parameters of type console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
number and returns a value of type number.
}
➢ Function Expression: You can also define a function using a function expression,
In this example, we have defined a function greet that takes a parameter name of type
which assigns the function to a variable. For example:
string with a default value of "world". If name is not provided, it will use the default value.
let add = function(a: number, b: number): number {
➢ Rest Parameters: TypeScript allows you to define rest parameters by prefixing the
return a + b; last parameter with an ellipsis. Rest parameters allow you to pass an arbitrary
number of arguments to a function. For example:
}
function multiply(factor: number, ...numbers: number[]): number {
In this example, we have defined a function expression that assigns a function to the
variable add. return numbers.reduce((a, b) => a * b, factor);
} else {
Parameter Types and Return Types: ➢ Optional Parameters: You can specify an optional function parameter by adding a
question mark after the parameter name, and then specifying a default value if the
In TypeScript, you can specify the types of function parameters and the return type of the parameter is not provided. For example:
function. This allows the TypeScript compiler to check the type safety of your code and
provide helpful error messages if there is a type mismatch. Here's how you can specify function greet(name?: string): void {
parameter types and return types in TypeScript:
if (name) {
➢ Parameter Types: You can specify the type of a function parameter by using a colon
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
followed by the type name. For example:
} else {
function add(a: number, b: number): number {
console.log("Hello, world!");
return a + b;
}
}
}
In this example, we have specified that the a and b parameters are of type number.
In this example, we have specified that the name parameter is optional by using the ?
➢ Return Type: You can specify the return type of a function by adding a colon followed
symbol. If the name parameter is not provided, the function will use the default value of
by the type name after the parameter list. For example:
undefined.
function add(a: number, b: number): number {
➢ Union Types: You can specify that a parameter can have multiple types by using a
return a + b; union type. For example:
In this example, we have specified that the function returns a value of type number. console.log(value);
➢ Void Type: If a function does not return a value, you can specify the return type as }
void. For example:
In this example, we have specified that the value parameter can be of type string or
function log(message: string): void { number.
console.log(message); These are just some of the ways you can specify parameter types and return types in
TypeScript. By using type annotations in your functions, you can make your code more
} readable and maintainable, and catch potential errors at compile time.
In this example, we have specified that the log function does not return a value by using the Arrow Function:
void keyword as the return type.
Arrow functions in TypeScript are a shorthand way of writing function expressions. They are Here's an example of a function type in TypeScript:
similar to regular functions, but with a more concise syntax. Here's how you can define an
arrow function in TypeScript: type AddFunction = (a: number, b: number) => number;
const add = (a: number, b: number): number => { In this example, we have defined a function type called AddFunction that takes two
parameters a and b, both of type number, and returns a value of type number.
return a + b;
We can use this function type to define a variable that can hold a function that matches the
}; type:
In this example, we have defined an arrow function called add that takes two parameters a const add: AddFunction = (a, b) => {
and b, both of which are of type number. The function returns the sum of a and b, which is
also of type number. return a + b;
(parameters) => expression In this example, we have defined a variable called add of type AddFunction. We have
assigned an arrow function to this variable that matches the function type.
The parameters are enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas, and the expression
is the code that the function will execute. The expression can be a single line of code, like in Function types can also include optional and rest parameters:
our example, or it can be a block of code enclosed in curly braces.
type GreetingFunction = (name?: string, ...args: string[]) => void;
You can also omit the curly braces and the return keyword if the function has only one
In this example, we have defined a function type called GreetingFunction that takes an
statement:
optional parameter name of type string and a rest parameter args of type string[]. The
const square = (x: number): number => x * x; function has a return type of void.
In this example, we have defined an arrow function called square that takes a parameter x We can use this function type to define a variable that can hold a function that matches the
of type number. The function returns the square of x, which is also of type number. type:
Arrow functions can be very useful when you need to define small, one-off functions that const greet: GreetingFunction = (name, ...args) => {
don't require a name or a separate function declaration. They can also make your code
if (name) {
more readable by reducing the amount of boilerplate code needed for function definitions.
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
Function Types:

In TypeScript, functions are first-class citizens and can have types just like any other values.
Function types describe the type of a function, including its parameter types and return console.log("Hello, world!");
type.
} console.log("Hello, stranger!");
if (args.length > 0) { }
console.log("Additional arguments:"); }
args.forEach(arg => console.log(arg)); In this example, the name parameter is marked as optional by adding ? after the parameter
name. This means that the parameter may or may not be provided when calling the
} function. If the parameter is provided, its value will be used in the greeting message. If it is
not provided, the greeting message will use the default value of "stranger".
};
Default Parameters:
In this example, we have defined a variable called greet of type GreetingFunction. We have
assigned an arrow function to this variable that matches the function type. To define a default value for a parameter, we can simply assign a value to the parameter in
the function signature. Here's an example:
Function types are very useful when you want to define functions with specific signatures,
and ensure that only functions that match the type are assigned to a variable or passed as function add(a: number, b: number = 0): number {
an argument. They can help catch type errors at compile time and make your code more
robust. return a + b;
In TypeScript, function parameters can be marked as optional or have default values. In this example, the b parameter is given a default value of 0 by assigning it in the function
Optional parameters are parameters that may or may not be provided when calling a signature. This means that if the b parameter is not provided when calling the function, its

Optional Parameters: It's important to note that optional parameters must come after required parameters in the
function signature, and default parameters must come after all required and optional
To make a parameter optional, we can use the ? operator after the parameter name in the parameters.
function signature. Here's an example:
Rest Parameter:
function greet(name?: string) {
In TypeScript, you can define a function that accepts a variable number of arguments using
if (name) { a rest parameter. A rest parameter is denoted by the ellipsis ... followed by the parameter
name and it allows a function to accept any number of arguments.
console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
Here's an example of a function that uses a rest parameter:
} else {
function multiply(multiplier: number, ...numbers: number[]): number { interface Person {
} age: number;
In this example, the multiply function takes a required parameter multiplier of type number greet: () => void;
and a rest parameter numbers of type number[]. The rest parameter allows the function to
accept any number of additional arguments, which are collected into an array called }
numbers.
In this example, we've defined an interface called Person that requires an object to have a

Here's an example of calling the multiply function: Once an interface is defined, we can use it to define the shape of objects that conform to
that interface. Here's an example of creating an object that conforms to the Person
const result = multiply(2, 3, 4, 5); interface:
In this example, we are calling the multiply function with the multiplier value of 2 and three name: "Alice",
additional arguments 3, 4, and 5. The multiply function collects these arguments into the

Here's an example of a function type:

also assigned it an arrow function that takes two parameters of type number and returns
their sum. Here's an example of how to extend an interface:
We can also use function types as parameters in other functions. Here's an example: interface Animal {
function applyOperation(a: number, b: number, op: (x: number, y: number) => number): name: string;
number {
age: number;
return op(a, b);
speak: () => void;
}
}
const result = applyOperation(4, 2, (x, y) => x * y);
interface Dog extends Animal {
console.log(result); // Output: 8
breed: string;
In this example, we've defined a function called applyOperation that takes two parameters
of type number and a third parameter of type (x: number, y: number) => number, which is a }
function type that describes a function that takes two parameters of type number and
const myDog: Dog = {

name: "Buddy",
age: 3,
The applyOperation function calls the function passed as the op parameter with the two a
and b parameters, and returns its result. breed: "Golden Retriever",
We've then called the applyOperation function with 4, 2, and an arrow function that speak: () => console.log("Woof!")
multiplies its two parameters. The result of the function call is 8, which is logged to the
console. };
In this example, we've defined an interface called Animal that has three properties: name of console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age} years old.`);

}
We've then defined a new interface called Dog that extends the Animal interface using the
extends keyword. The Dog interface has all the properties of the Animal interface, plus an }
additional property breed of type string.
const person = new Person("John", 30);
Finally, we've declared a variable called myDog that has the type Dog. We've assigned it an
person.sayHello(); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I'm 30 years old.
object that has all the properties required by the Dog interface, as well as the speak
method. In this example, we've defined a class called Person with two properties: name of type
string and age of type number. We've also defined a constructor method that takes two

allows us to define more specific classes that inherit properties and methods from a more
Here's an example of a simple class: general class.
class Person { Here's an example of a class that inherits from another class:
constructor(name: string, age: number) { constructor(name: string, age: number, studentId: number) {
this.name = name; super(name, age);
} }
sayHello() { study() {
console.log(`${this.name} is studying with student ID ${this.studentId}.`); constructor(name: string, age: number) {
} this.name = name;
} this.age = age;
student.study(); // Output: Jane is studying with student ID 12345. In this example, we've defined a class called Person with two properties: name of type
string and age of type number. We've also defined a constructor method that takes two
In this example, we've defined a class called Student that extends the Person class using the parameters, name and age, and assigns their values to the corresponding properties using

and a study method that logs a message to the console using the name and studentId
properties. We can create an instance of the Person class by using the new keyword and passing in the
name and age parameters to the constructor:
We've created an instance of the Student class using the new keyword, passing in the name,
age, and studentId parameters to the constructor. We've then called the sayHello and study const person = new Person("John", 30);
methods on the student object, which logs messages to the console.
In this example, we've created a new object called person from the Person class, passing in
Constructor: the values "John" and 30 for the name and age parameters, respectively.
In TypeScript, the constructor is a special method that is used to create and initialize objects We can also use default parameter values in the constructor:

The constructor method has the same name as the class and can accept zero or more
parameters. It is defined using the constructor keyword followed by parentheses that age: number;
contain the parameter list and the method body.
constructor(name = "Unknown", age = 0) {
Here's an example of a constructor method in TypeScript:
this.name = name;
class Person {
this.age = age;
name: string;
}
age: number;
}
In this example, we've set default values for the name and age parameters in the Example:
constructor. If no values are passed in when creating an instance of the Person class, the
default values of "Unknown" and 0 will be used for name and age, respectively. class Person {
The constructor method can also include access modifiers such as public, private, and private name: string;
protected to control the visibility of the class properties.
constructor(name: string) {
Access Modifiers: this.name = name;
In TypeScript, access modifiers are used to control the visibility and accessibility of class }
members (properties and methods) from outside the class. There are three access modifiers
in TypeScript: public, private, and protected. greet() {
➢ public modifier: Members declared as public are accessible from anywhere, both console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name}!`);
inside and outside the class. This is the default access modifier if none is specified.
}
Example:
}
class Person {
let person = new Person('John');
public name: string;
console.log(person.name); // Error: 'name' is private
constructor(name: string) {
person.greet(); // Output: Hello, my name is John!
this.name = name;
In this example, name property of the Person class is declared as private. We can't access it
} outside the class using the person.name statement. But we can access it within the class
using the this.name statement.
}
➢ protected modifier: Members declared as protected are accessible within the class
let person = new Person('John'); and its subclasses. They are not accessible from outside the class hierarchy.
In this example, name property of the Person class is declared as public. We can access it class Person {
outside the class using the person.name statement.
protected name: string;
➢ private modifier: Members declared as private are only accessible within the class.
They are not accessible from outside the class, not even from derived classes. constructor(name: string) {
this.name = name; Properties are variables that belong to an instance of a class, and methods are functions
that belong to a class.
}
Here's an example of how to create properties and methods in TypeScript:
}
class Person {
class Employee extends Person {
name: string;
private department: string;
age: number;
constructor(name: string, department: string) {
constructor(name: string, age: number) {
super(name);
this.name = name;
this.department = department;
this.age = age;
}
}
public getDetails() {
greet(): void {
console.log(`Name: ${this.name}, Department: ${this.department}`);
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age} years old.`);
}
}
}
}
let emp = new Employee('John', 'Sales');
let person = new Person('John', 30);
console.log(emp.name); // Error: 'name' is protected
person.greet(); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I'm 30 years old.
emp.getDetails(); // Output: Name: John, Department: Sales
In this example, the Person class has two properties: name and age. The constructor

the Employee class (subclass of Person class) using the this.name statement.
The greet method is a function that belongs to the Person class. It can be called on an
Properties and Methods: instance of the class using the person.greet() statement. This method uses the this keyword
to refer to the instance of the class and access its properties.
Properties and methods are two important features of classes in TypeScript.
Note that by default, properties in TypeScript are public, which means they can be accessed console.log(person.age); // Error: 'age' is protected
from outside the class.
In this example, the name property is declared as private, which means it can only be

protected age: number;
Creating & Using Namespaces:
constructor(name: string, age: number) {
In TypeScript, a namespace is a way to group related code together and prevent naming
this.name = name; collisions. Namespaces are similar to modules, but while modules are used to organize code
that will be compiled to separate files, namespaces are used to organize code within a
this.age = age; single file.
} To create a namespace in TypeScript, you can use the namespace keyword followed by the
namespace name and the code that should be included in the namespace. Here's an
getName(): string { example:
return this.name; namespace MyNamespace {
} export interface Person {
getAge(): number { name: string;
return this.age; age: number;
} }
} export function greet(person: Person): void {
let person = new Person('John', 30); console.log(`Hello, my name is ${person.name} and I'm ${person.age} years old.`);
console.log(person.getName()); // Output: John }
console.log(person.getAge()); // Output: 30 }
console.log(person.name); // Error: 'name' is private
let person: MyNamespace.Person = { name: 'John', age: 30 }; console.log(`Hello, my name is ${person.name} and I'm ${person.age} years old.`);
In this example, we've created a namespace called MyNamespace. Inside the namespace, In this example, we've created a module that exports an interface called Person and a

object as a parameter and logs a greeting to the console.
To use the Person interface and the greet function in another module or in your application
Note that we've used the export keyword to make the Person interface and the greet code, you can use the import statement. Here's an example:
function available outside the namespace.
import { Person, greet } from './my-module';
To use the Person interface and the greet function, we can refer to them using the
namespace name followed by a dot notation, like MyNamespace.Person and let person: Person = { name: 'John', age: 30 };
MyNamespace.greet.
greet(person); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I'm 30 years old.
Using namespaces can help avoid naming collisions, especially when working with large

AMD Modules
Asynchronous Module Definition (AMD) is a module format used by RequireJS and other
AMD loaders. AMD modules use the define function to define modules, and the require

Modules in TypeScript support various module formats, such as CommonJS, AMD, and ES6 In TypeScript, generics are represented by type parameters, which are placeholders for
modules, and can be loaded using module loaders such as Node.js, Webpack, and SystemJS. specific types. Type parameters are declared using angle brackets < >, and can be used to
define the type of function parameters, return types, and class properties.
Namespaces
Here's an example of a simple generic function in TypeScript that takes an array of any type
Namespaces in TypeScript are used to group related code and avoid naming conflicts. A and returns the first element of the array:
namespace can contain variables, functions, classes, and interfaces, and can be nested to
create a hierarchical organization of code. function getFirst<T>(arr: T[]): T {
Unlike modules, namespaces do not have a separate file scope, and all entities in a return arr[0];
namespace are in the same global scope. This can sometimes lead to naming conflicts if
multiple namespaces define entities with the same name. }
Namespaces in TypeScript are similar to namespaces in other languages such as C# and let arr1 = [1, 2, 3];
Java, and can be useful for organizing large codebases into logical units.
let arr2 = ["a", "b", "c"];
When to use Modules vs Namespaces
console.log(getFirst<number>(arr1)); // output: 1
In general, you should use modules in TypeScript to organize code across different files and
console.log(getFirst<string>(arr2)); // output: "a"
manage dependencies between different parts of an application. Modules allow you to
easily reuse and share code, and provide a clear separation of concerns between different In this example, the getFirst function takes an array of type T and returns the first element

type parameter T, which can be any type.
Namespaces, on the other hand, are best used to organize related code within a single file
or a small set of files. Namespaces can be useful for avoiding naming conflicts, but should When calling the function, we specify the type of T using angle brackets. In the first call, we

In summary, while both modules and namespaces are useful for organizing code in Generics can also be used to define classes and interfaces. Here's an example of a generic

class Stack<T> {
What is Generics:
private items: T[] = [];
push(item: T) { In TypeScript, type parameters are a feature that allows you to create generic types,
functions, and classes that can work with different types of data, without knowing the
this.items.push(item); specific type at compile-time. Type parameters act as placeholders for the actual types that
will be used when the code is executed.
}
Type parameters are declared using angle brackets < > and can be used to define the type

of function parameters, return types, and class properties. For example, consider the
return this.items.pop(); following generic function that swaps two elements of an array:
stack1.push(2); }
console.log(stack1.pop()); // output: 2 In this function, T is a type parameter that represents the type of elements in the array.
When calling the function, you specify the actual type of T, such as number or string.
let stack2 = new Stack<string>();
const arr1: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
stack2.push("a");
swap<number>(arr1, 0, 2); // swaps the first and third elements of the array
stack2.push("b");
Type parameters can also be used to define generic classes. For example, consider the
console.log(stack2.pop()); // output: "b" following Stack class that can hold elements of any type:
In this example, the Stack class is defined as a generic class with a type parameter T. The class Stack<T> {
class contains two methods, push and pop, which operate on elements of type T. When
creating an instance of the Stack class, we specify the type of T using angle brackets, just private items: T[] = [];

In this class, T is a type parameter that represents the type of elements in the stack. When In this function, T is a type parameter that represents the type of elements in the array.

const stack1 = new Stack<number>(); Here's an example of how you can call the getLast function with different types of arrays:
const stack2 = new Stack<string>(); const lastString = getLast(strings); // inferred type: string | undefined
console.log(stack2.pop()); // prints "world" Note that the inferred type of the return value depends on the type of the array passed as

You can also explicitly specify the type parameter when calling the function:

In TypeScript, you can use generic constraints to restrict the types that can be used as type
parameters in generic functions or classes. A generic constraint allows you to specify that a
type parameter must extend a particular type or set of types.

Here's an example of how you can call the getFirst function with different types of input: There are several reasons why MongoDB is a popular choice for modern web and mobile
applications:
const numbers = [1, 2, 3];
1. Flexible data model: MongoDB's document-oriented data model allows you to store data
const firstNumber = getFirst(numbers); // inferred type: number in a flexible, semi-structured format, making it easy to store and retrieve complex,
unstructured data, such as social media posts, user comments, and product catalogs.
const strings = ["hello", "world"];
2. Scalability and performance: MongoDB is designed to be highly scalable and can handle
const firstString = getFirst(strings); // inferred type: string large volumes of data with ease. It also provides high-performance, real-time data access,
making it ideal for applications that require fast data retrieval.
const obj = { length: 5 };
3. Easy to use: MongoDB has a user-friendly interface, and its query language is similar to
const firstObj = getFirst(obj); // inferred type: { length: number }
JavaScript, making it easy for developers to learn and use.
Note that the inferred type of the return value depends on the type of the input passed as
an argument. In this example, the return type is either the type of the elements in the array
or the original type T.

and functions to automate common tasks and perform more complex operations.
var collection = db.getCollection("mycollection");
Here are a few basic commands to get you started with the MongoDB shell:
// Get all documents where the "status" field is "active"
1. `show dbs`: Show a list of all databases on the current MongoDB instance.
var documents = collection.find({ "status": "active" });
2. `use <database>`: Switch to the specified database.
// Loop through each document and update the "status" field to "inactive"
3. `db.createCollection("<collection>")`: Create a new collection in the current database.
documents.forEach(function(doc) {

perform much more complex operations and queries. With some practice and
experimentation, you can become proficient at using the shell to manage your MongoDB 4. Functions: You can define and use functions to perform more complex operations. For
databases and collections. example:
The MongoDB shell uses a JavaScript-based syntax for executing commands and interacting return x + y;
with the database. This means that you can use all of the features of the JavaScript

language when working with MongoDB, including variables, loops, conditional statements,
and functions. var result = add(3, 4);
Here are some basic examples of the JavaScript syntax used in the MongoDB shell: print(result); // prints 7
1. Variables: You can define variables using the `var` keyword. For example: These are just a few examples of the JavaScript syntax used in the MongoDB shell. With
some practice and experimentation, you can become proficient at using the shell to manage
var x = 5;
your MongoDB databases and collections.
2. Loops: You can use loops like `for` and `while` to iterate over data. For example:
Introduction to the MongoDB Data Types:
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
MongoDB supports a wide range of data types that you can use to store and manipulate
print(i); data in your databases. Here's an overview of the most commonly used MongoDB data
types:
}
1. String: A sequence of UTF-8 characters, used to represent text. Strings are enclosed in
3. Conditional statements: You can use `if` and `else` statements to perform conditional double quotes (").
logic. For example:
2. Number: A numeric value, either an integer or a floating-point number. MongoDB
var x = 5; supports several types of number, including 32-bit and 64-bit integers, and 64-bit floating-
point numbers.
if (x > 10) {
3. Boolean: A value that is either true or false.
print("x is greater than 10");
4. Date: A date and time value, represented as a 64-bit integer that stores the number of
} else {
milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970).
print("x is less than or equal to 10");
5. Object: A nested document that can contain other fields and values.
}
6. Array: An ordered list of values, represented as a nested document with integer keys.
7. ObjectId: A unique identifier for a document, automatically generated by MongoDB. db.myCollection.updateOne({ name: "John" }, { $set: { age: 35 } });
ObjectId values are 12-byte binary values that include a timestamp, a machine identifier, a
process identifier, and a counter. This will update the `age` field of the first document in the `myCollection` collection that has
a `name` field equal to "John" to 35.
8. Binary data: A binary value, used to represent arbitrary data such as images or audio
files. 4. Delete: To remove documents from MongoDB, you can use the `deleteOne` or
`deleteMany` method. For example:
9. Regular expression: A pattern used to match text, represented as a string with optional
flags. db.myCollection.deleteOne({ name: "John" });
10. Null: A value that represents the absence of a value. This will delete the first document in the `myCollection` collection that has a `name` field
equal to "John".
These data types can be used in a variety of ways in MongoDB, and you can also create your
own custom data types using MongoDB's flexible schema design capabilities. These are the basic CRUD operations that you can perform on documents in MongoDB.
With these operations, you can manage your data and collections in a flexible and powerful
Introduction to the CRUD Operations on documents: way.
CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update, and Delete, and these are the basic operations that Create and Delete Databases and Collections:
you can perform on documents in MongoDB. Here's a brief overview of each operation:
In MongoDB, you can create and delete databases and collections using the following
1. Create: To create a new document in MongoDB, you can use the `insertOne` or commands:
`insertMany` method. For example:
1. Creating a database: To create a new database in MongoDB, you can use the `use`
db.myCollection.insertOne({ name: "John", age: 30 }); command followed by the name of the database. For example:
This will insert a new document with the `name` and `age` fields into the `myCollection` use myDatabase
collection.
This will create a new database called `myDatabase`. Note that this command does not
2. Read: To retrieve documents from MongoDB, you can use the `find` method. For actually create the database until you insert data into it.
example:
2. Creating a collection: To create a new collection in MongoDB, you can use the
db.myCollection.find({ name: "John" }); `createCollection` method. For example:
This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection that have a `name` field equal db.createCollection("myCollection")
to "John".
This will create a new collection called `myCollection` in the current database.
3. Update: To update an existing document in MongoDB, you can use the `updateOne` or
`updateMany` method. For example: 3. Deleting a database: To delete a database in MongoDB, you can use the `dropDatabase`
method. For example:
use myDatabase db.myCollection.find({ name: "John", age: { $gt: 30 } })
db.dropDatabase() This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection that have a `name` field equal
to "John" and an `age` field greater than 30.
This will delete the `myDatabase` database and all its collections.
4. Sort the results of a query:
4. Deleting a collection: To delete a collection in MongoDB, you can use the `drop` method.
For example: db.myCollection.find().sort({ age: -1 })
db.myCollection.drop() This will return all documents in the `myCollection` collection sorted by the `age` field in
descending order.
This will delete the `myCollection` collection from the current database.
5. Limit the number of results:
Note that deleting a database or collection is a permanent operation, so be sure to use
these commands with caution. Also, keep in mind that dropping a collection does not delete db.myCollection.find().limit(10)
the data that was stored in it, so be sure to back up your data before deleting any
collections. This will return the first 10 documents in the `myCollection` collection.
These are just a few examples of the types of queries you can perform in MongoDB. With its

MongoDB uses a powerful and flexible query language that allows you to filter, sort, and
