  • db.[collection-name].insertMany([{key:value}, {key:value}]) -> To insert many

  • db.[collection-name].find(query(optional), projection(optional)).pretty() -> To find data and prettify it
  • db.[collection-name].find().count() -> To count the number of data in a collection

  • I made this basic cheat sheet when I was learning MongoDB. I thought of sharing it as it might help many beginners. If I made any mistake while writing this, you can write this in the comment's and let me know.
