WEBVTT 00:00.720 --> 00:04.140 We got all the data scraped that we need from Craigslist. 00:04.170 --> 00:07.710 We got the job listings and the job descriptions. 00:08.460 --> 00:12.840 And now we need to save the data somewhere because right now it's not being saved at all. 00:13.350 --> 00:19.560 And a really popular choice to use when you're dealing with JavaScript especially, is to use a MongoDB 00:19.560 --> 00:20.460 database. 00:20.730 --> 00:27.420 So a MongoDB database simply just saves the data pretty much as we have it in the code. 00:27.420 --> 00:33.660 It just saves it as different objects inside of a database or a collection. 00:33.660 --> 00:40.440 In this case, instead of an array, we have a collection and instead of an object, we call it documents. 00:40.440 --> 00:43.200 So same thing, but new names. 00:43.750 --> 00:48.160 Anyway, I'm going to use a cloud service that is called M-lab. 00:48.490 --> 00:58.540 And M-lab is free for smaller databases, which means 500MB, which is plenty enough to make small test 00:58.540 --> 01:02.500 projects or little test prototypes. 01:02.590 --> 01:09.610 I have never been able to get past my limit on the smaller projects projects I've been doing. 01:09.940 --> 01:11.790 So highly recommend it. 01:11.800 --> 01:13.090 Go ahead, sign up. 01:13.120 --> 01:16.000 You can also use your own database. 01:16.000 --> 01:17.110 MongoDB database. 01:17.110 --> 01:17.740 Set it up. 01:17.740 --> 01:23.800 But I just find it so easy and convenient to set up MongoDB databases with M-lab. 01:24.160 --> 01:25.690 So anyway, let me show you. 01:25.720 --> 01:27.790 Once you're signed up, go ahead. 01:27.790 --> 01:35.440 I'm going to go into manage here and then in here I'm going to say create a new database. 01:39.060 --> 01:42.330 And then you can choose which cloud provider you want to use. 01:42.330 --> 01:44.700 It doesn't really matter which one you use. 01:44.700 --> 01:46.280 I don't see any difference. 01:46.290 --> 01:54.210 Maybe the location will be different, but I'm just going to go ahead with Amazon and say Free Sandbox 01:54.210 --> 01:57.060 and we can see the regions available to me. 01:57.390 --> 02:03.330 And then I say continue and I choose the one that is closest to me, that is in Europe. 02:04.080 --> 02:07.710 And then I say continue and I give the database a name. 02:07.710 --> 02:09.570 Let's call it Craigslist listings. 02:09.690 --> 02:15.690 So I already have here and continue and submit order. 02:17.400 --> 02:22.860 Now it's going to go ahead and create this little free sandbox database at Amazon. 02:22.980 --> 02:26.070 It's only going to take a couple of seconds usually. 02:29.710 --> 02:30.460 And there we go. 02:30.460 --> 02:34.890 Now, the database has already been created, and I can go ahead and click on it. 02:37.750 --> 02:40.840 And in here I can see there is the collections. 02:40.840 --> 02:44.530 There's no collections right now because we haven't been saving any data. 02:44.710 --> 02:48.450 But we need to create a user that can connect to this database. 02:48.460 --> 02:52.420 We are going to use this user inside of our NodeJS code. 02:52.810 --> 02:57.400 So go ahead inside users and click on Add database User. 02:58.110 --> 03:01.290 And then let's give it a username. 03:01.290 --> 03:09.180 So Craigslist user, and then let's give it a super strong password. 03:10.300 --> 03:14.560 And it has to be with one numeric character. 03:14.560 --> 03:18.940 So super strong Password one. 03:20.680 --> 03:22.270 And then I say, Great. 03:26.560 --> 03:27.970 And there we go. 03:27.970 --> 03:33.280 Now I have a user and a password set up, so make sure to save this password somewhere. 03:33.280 --> 03:39.610 And the user also Craigslist user and the password is super strong. 03:39.610 --> 03:47.080 Password one We are now going to use Mongoose to connect to the database in the next section.
