MongoDB

UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to a MongoDB database with no need for additional layers like APIs or third-party services.

Configuration

Prerequisites

If your database is hosted behind a Firewall, you need to add our IP addresses to the Firewall whitelist.

Connecting the data source

  1. On the Data sources page, click Connect, and select MongoDB in the Data sources list.

  2. Specify your connection string and click Test connection to check whether the data source can be connected.

  3. Finally, click Connect Datasource to complete the setup.

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 Allow override database name in action setting.

Once enabled, when configuring the action, you will be able to specify a custom database. In case a database is not specified, the default data source database will be used.

Usage

Once you have established the connection between UI Bakery and MongoDB, you can access its data - load it and send it back.

The following Action steps are supported with MongoDB:
