Connecting MongoDB and UI Bakery
Last updated
UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to a MongoDB database with no need for additional layers (APIs or 3rd-party services).
If your database is hosted behind a Firewall, add the following IP address to the Firewall whitelist:
Go to the Data sources page – Connect – Choose MongoDB. Enter your connection string and click Test connection.
When the connection is successful, click Connect Data source. UI Bakery will extract the database structure and store column types. This data will be used to suggest the proper table columns and form field types.
If you need to be able to override the default data source database with a custom value in an action, you can enable the setting Allow override database name in action:
Once enabled, when configuring the action, you will be able to specify the custom database. In case a database is not specified, the default data source database will be used.
