mongooseconnecturi

The mongoose connect URI is a string that specifies the connection details for a MongoDB database when using the Mongoose Object Data Modeling (ODM) library for Node.js. This URI follows a standardized format that Mongoose parses to establish a connection.

The general structure of a Mongoose connection URI is mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,...hostN[:portN]][/[database][?options]]. It begins with the scheme "mongodb://". Optionally, it can include authentication credentials, consisting of a username and password separated by a colon, followed by an "@" symbol.

Following the authentication (if present), the URI specifies one or more MongoDB hosts. Each host can include a port number, separated by a colon, though the default MongoDB port is 27017 if not specified. Multiple hosts can be listed for replica set configurations, separated by commas.

After the host(s), an optional path component can specify the default database to connect to, preceded by a forward slash. Finally, query parameters can be appended to the URI, starting with a question mark, to configure various connection options such as replica set names, SSL settings, and connection timeouts.

Using a connection URI is a common and flexible way to manage database connections in Mongoose applications, allowing for easy configuration and management of connection parameters.
