Basic MongoDB commands

Open your terminal, command prompt, power shell or bash. Whichever you have installed on your system and let's get started

To start the MongoDB shell,
```
mongo
```
Will create a database named amazon and switch to it
```
use amazon
```
Will show you the current database you're in
```
db
```
Will display all databases you have
```
show dbs
```
Will create a collection called products with documents name and macbook value in the amazon database
```
db.products.insert({name: "macbook"})
```
Will create a collection of users
```
db.createCollection("users")
```
Will show a list of collections in your database
```
show collections
```
Will delete the collection users from the database
```
db.users.drop()
```
Will delete the entire database you are currently on
```
db.dropDatabase()
```

Creates a collection products and inserts one document into it

db.products.insertOne({name: "macbook", price: 1500, category: "Computers"})

Will help us find all the documents in the products collection
```
db.products.find()
```

Will creates many documents into the product collection

db.products.insertMany([{name: "iPhone 11", price: 1900, category: " Electronics"}, {name: "Headphone", price: 120, category: "Electronics" }])

Reading (flittering) query's from MongoDB

The find() helps us find every document in a collection e.g in products below
```
db.products.find()
```
Returns the collection results in JSON format
```
db.products.find().pretty()
```
Finds a specific item passed in, if it exists
```
db.products.find({name: "macbook"})
```
Finds a specific key only
```
db.products.find({}, {name: 1})
```
Finds a specific key only and hide the _id
```
db.products.find({}, {name: 1, _id: 0})
```
Finds a specific key only, hide the _id and show only the first 2
```
db.products.find({}, {name: 1, _id:0}).limit(2)
```

Finds every item that is less than 150

db.products.find({price : {$lt: 150} })

Finds every item that is less than or equal to 150
```
db.products.find({price : {$lte: 150} })
```

Finds every item that is grater than 800

db.products.find({price : {$gt: 800} })

Finds every item that is grater than or equal to 800
```
db.products.find({price : {$gte: 800} })
```
Finds every item that its price is less than 200 and belongs to the category of Electronics
```
db.products.find({$and: [{price: {$lt:200}}, {category: "Electronics"} ]})
```
Finds every item that its price is greater than 500 or belongs to the category of Electronics
```
db.products.find({$or: [{price: {$gt:500}}, {category: "Electronics"} ]})
```
