Testing mongocxx c++ driver with a sample code


I'm trying to connect mongdb with mongocxx driver in my C++ sample code. I added Additional include, Libraries and dependencies. When I build it it shows following error.

this is the full code

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <cstdint>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <bsoncxx/json.hpp>
#include <mongocxx/client.hpp>
#include <mongocxx/instance.hpp>
#include <mongocxx/uri.hpp>
#include <mongocxx/stdx.hpp>

using bsoncxx::builder::stream::close_array;
using bsoncxx::builder::stream::close_document;
using bsoncxx::builder::stream::document;
using bsoncxx::builder::stream::finalize;
using bsoncxx::builder::stream::open_array;
using bsoncxx::builder::stream::open_document;

int main() {
    std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;

    mongocxx::instance instance{}; // This should be done only once.
    mongocxx::uri uri("mongodb://localhost:27017");
    mongocxx::client client(uri);

    return 0;
}
thi

s is the error output.

Solution

  • It says what it says initialized your driver first. if you have compiled your driver correctly these codes must be working.

       #include <cstdlib>
       #include <iostream>
       #include <bsoncxx/builder/stream/document.hpp>
       #include <bsoncxx/json.hpp>
       #include <mongocxx/client.hpp>
       #include <mongocxx/instance.hpp>
       #include <mongocxx/uri.hpp>
    
    
       using bsoncxx::builder::stream::close_document;
       using bsoncxx::builder::stream::document;
       using bsoncxx::builder::stream::finalize;
       using bsoncxx::builder::stream::open_document;
       mongocxx::instance instance{};// don't put inside main 
    
    int main() {
    mongocxx::client conn{ mongocxx::uri{ "mongodb://localhost:27017" } };
    auto coll = conn["test"]["coll"];
    bsoncxx::builder::stream::document document{};
    document << "Data" << "hello";
    coll.insert_one(document.view());
    
    return 0;
    }
