Follow this guide to connect a sample {+language+} application to a MongoDB Atlas
deployment. If you prefer to connect to MongoDB using a different driver or
programming language, see the :driver:`list of official MongoDB drivers <>`.

.. _kotlin-sync-download-install:

Download and Install
--------------------

This section demonstrates how to create a project and add the
{+driver-short+} dependencies by using `Gradle <https://gradle.org/>`__
or `Maven <https://maven.apache.org/>`__.

.. procedure::
:style: connected

.. step:: Create a {+language+} Project

First, make sure that your system has {+language+} installed and
running on JDK 1.8 or later.

We recommend that you use an integrated development
environment (IDE) such as IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse IDE to
configure Gradle or Maven to build and run your project.

.. tip::

If you are not using an IDE, see the
`Creating New Gradle Builds
<https://guides.gradle.org/creating-new-gradle-builds/>`__ guide
or the `Building Maven
<https://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-building-maven.html>`__ guide
for more information on how to set up your project.

For more information on getting started with
{+language+} and creating your first project, see `Get started with Kotlin/JVM
<{+kotlin-docs+}/docs/jvm-get-started.html>`__ in the {+language+}
language documentation.

.. step:: Add the Driver Bill of Materials

.. _kotlin-sync-get-started-install-bom:

.. sharedinclude:: dbx/jvm/bom.rst

.. replacement:: gradle-filename

``build.gradle.kts``

.. step:: Add MongoDB as a Dependency

If you are using Gradle to manage your
packages, add the following entry to your ``build.gradle.kts``
dependencies list:

.. include:: /includes/kotlin-sync-driver-gradle-versioned.rst

If you are using Maven to manage your
packages, add the following entry to your ``pom.xml`` dependencies list:

.. include:: /includes/kotlin-sync-driver-maven-versioned.rst

Because you installed the BOM, you can omit a version in the
{+driver-short+} dependency entry. The version you specify in the
BOM determines the dependency versions to install.

After you configure your dependencies, ensure that they are
available to your project by running the dependency manager and
refreshing the project in your IDE.

.. step:: Add Serialization Library Dependencies

To enable the driver to convert between {+language+} objects and BSON, the
data format for documents in MongoDB, you must also add one or both of the
following serialization packages to your application:

- ``bson-kotlinx`` *(Recommended)*
- ``bson-kotlin``

If you are using Gradle to manage your packages, add one of the following
entries to your ``build.gradle.kts`` dependencies list:

.. include:: /includes/serialization-libs-gradle-versioned.rst

If you are using Maven to manage your packages, add one of the following
entries to your ``pom.xml`` dependencies list:

.. include:: /includes/serialization-libs-maven-versioned.rst

After you configure your dependencies, ensure that they are available to your
project by running the dependency manager and refreshing the
project in your IDE.

To learn more about these packages, see :ref:`kotlin-sync-serialization`.

After you complete these steps, you have a new project directory
and the driver dependencies installed.

.. _kotlin-sync-get-started-create-deployment:

Create a MongoDB Deployment
---------------------------

You can create a free tier MongoDB deployment on MongoDB Atlas
to store and manage your data. MongoDB Atlas hosts and manages
your MongoDB database in the cloud.

.. procedure::
:style: connected

.. step:: Create a Free MongoDB deployment on Atlas

Complete the :atlas:`Get Started with Atlas </getting-started>`
guide to set up a new Atlas account and load sample data into a new free
tier MongoDB deployment.

.. step:: Save your Credentials

After you create your database user, save the user's
username and password to a safe location for use in an upcoming step.

After you complete these steps, you have a new free tier MongoDB
deployment on Atlas, database user credentials, and sample data loaded
in your database.

.. _kotlin-sync-get-started-connection-string:

Create a Connection String
--------------------------

You can connect to your MongoDB deployment by providing a
**connection URI**, also called a *connection string*, which
instructs the driver on how to connect to a MongoDB deployment
and how to behave while connected.

The connection string includes the hostname or IP address and
port of your deployment, the authentication mechanism, user credentials
when applicable, and connection options.

To connect to an instance or deployment not hosted on Atlas, see the :ref:`kotlin-sync-connection-targets` guide.

.. procedure::
:style: connected

.. step:: Find your MongoDB Atlas Connection String

To retrieve your connection string for the deployment that
you created in the :ref:`previous step <kotlin-sync-get-started-create-deployment>`,
log into your Atlas account, navigate to the
:guilabel:`Database` section, then click the :guilabel:`Connect` button
for your new deployment.

.. figure:: /includes/figures/atlas_connection_select_cluster.png
:alt: The connect button in the clusters section of the Atlas UI

Proceed to the :guilabel:`Connect your application` section, then select
**{+language+}** from the :guilabel:`Driver` selection menu.

Select the :guilabel:`Password (SCRAM)` authentication mechanism.

Deselect the :guilabel:`Include full driver code example` option to view
only the connection string.

.. step:: Copy your Connection String

Click the button on the right of the connection string to copy it to
your clipboard as shown in the following screenshot:

.. figure:: /includes/figures/atlas_connection_copy_string_kotlin.png
:alt: The connection string copy button in the Atlas UI

.. step:: Update the Placeholders

Paste this connection string into a file in your preferred text editor
and replace the ``<username>`` and ``<password>`` placeholders with
your database user's username and password.

Save this file to a safe location to use in the next step.

After completing these steps, you have a connection string that
contains your database username and password.

.. _kotlin-sync-connect-to-mongodb:
.. _kotlin-sync-run-sample-query:

Run a Sample Query
------------------

.. procedure::
:style: connected

.. step:: Create the Application File

Create a file called ``DemoDataClassExample.kt`` in your project.

Copy the following sample code into the file and replace the value of
the ``<connection URI string>`` placeholder with your MongoDB
Atlas connection string that you saved in the preceding step.

.. literalinclude:: /includes/get-started/DemoDataClassExample.kt
:language: kotlin
:caption: DemoDataClassExample.kt

.. note::

This example uses a {+language+} data class to model MongoDB data.

.. step:: Run the Application

When you run the application, it prints the details
of a movie document that matches the query, as shown in the
following output:

.. code-block:: none
:copyable: false

Movie(title=Before Sunrise, year=1995, directors=[Richard Linklater])

If you don't see any output or receive an error, check whether you
included the proper connection string in your application. Also, confirm
that you successfully loaded the sample dataset into your MongoDB Atlas cluster.

After completing this step, you have a working application that uses
the {+driver-short+} to connect to your MongoDB cluster, run a query on the
sample data, and print out the result.

.. step:: Use the Document Class to Model Data (Alternative)

The preceding step demonstrates how to run a query on a sample
collection to retrieve data by using a {+language+} data class. This section
shows how to use the `Document <https://mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/{+version-number+}/apidocs/bson/org/bson/Document.html>`__
class to store and retrieve data from MongoDB.

In a file called ``DemoDocumentExample.kt``, paste the following sample
code to run a query on your sample dataset in MongoDB Atlas. Replace the
value of the ``<connection URI string>`` placeholder with your
MongoDB Atlas connection string:

.. literalinclude:: /includes/get-started/DemoDocumentExample.kt
:caption: DemoDocumentExample.kt
:language: kotlin

When you run the application, it prints the details
of a movie document that matches the query, as shown in the
following output:

.. code-block:: none
:copyable: false

Document{{_id=..., plot=A young man and woman ..., genres=[Drama, Romance], ...}}

If you don't see any output or receive an error, check whether you
included the proper connection string in your application. Also, confirm
that you successfully loaded the sample dataset into your MongoDB
Atlas cluster.

After you complete these steps, you have a working application that
uses the driver to connect to your MongoDB deployment, runs a query on
the sample data, and prints out the result.
