i am trying to create a new User from my mongo Database from Nodejs. I know you can create a user via the cli like that:
db.createUser({
user: 'USERNAME',
pwd: passwordPrompt(),
roles: [{
role: 'readWrite',
db: 'DATABASE'
}]
})But that is not what i am looking for, is there any way to create a User for the Database from within nodejs? Is there any libary to do such a thing or is there an api to create a new User?
In MongoDb node driver, the createUser is not available, instead you will have to use addUser
db.addUser('username', 'password' , {
roles
})
You can refer to this api documentation provided by the official MongoDb node driver.
