Simple Steps to Connect Flask App with MongoDB in an Ubuntu Machine

To connect MongoDB with Flask in an Ubuntu machine, follow these steps:

Install the pymongo package:

pip install pymongo

Install Flask-PyMongo package:

pip install Flask-PyMongo

In your Flask app, add the following code to create a connection to your MongoDB:

from flask_pymongo import PyMongo

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["MONGO_URI"] = "mongodb://localhost:27017/myDatabase"
mongo = PyMongo(app)

Note: Replace "myDatabase" with the name of your database.

Use the mongo object to interact with the database. For example, to insert a document into a collection, use the following code:

myCollection = mongo.db.myCollectionName
myCollection.insert_one({"name": "John", "age": 30})

Note: Replace "myCollectionName" with the name of your collection.

That's it! Now you can use Flask and MongoDB together in your Ubuntu machine.
