22+
23+
This guide shows you how to add the {+odm-long+} to a new Laravel web
24+
application, connect to a MongoDB cluster hosted on MongoDB Atlas, and perform
25+
read and write operations on the data.
26+
27+
.. tip::
28+
29+
If you prefer to set up your development environment in GitHub Codespaces
30+
or Docker, see the linked code repository in the
31+
`How to Build a Laravel + MongoDB Back End Service <https://www.mongodb.com/developer/languages/php/laravel-mongodb-tutorial/>`__
32+
MongoDB Developer Center tutorial.
33+
34+
You can learn how to set up a local Laravel development environment
35+
and perform CRUD operations by viewing the

If you prefer to connect to MongoDB by using the PHP Library driver without
40+
Laravel, see `Connecting to MongoDB <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/php-library/current/tutorial/connecting/>`__
41+
in the PHP Library documentation.
42+
43+
{+odm-short+} extends the Laravel Eloquent and Query Builder syntax to
44+
store and retrieve data from MongoDB.
45+
46+
MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service that hosts your
47+
MongoDB deployments. You can create your own free (no credit card
48+
required) MongoDB Atlas deployment by following the steps in this guide.
49+
50+
Follow the steps in this guide to create a sample Laravel web application
51+
that connects to a MongoDB deployment.
52+
53+

54+
55+
You can download the complete web application project by cloning the

==========================

Create a Connection String
5+
==========================
6+
7+
You can connect to your MongoDB deployment by providing a
8+
**connection URI**, also called a *connection string*, which
9+
instructs the driver on how to connect to a MongoDB deployment
10+
and how to behave while connected.
11+
12+
The connection string includes the hostname or IP address and
13+
port of your deployment, the authentication mechanism, user credentials
14+
when applicable, and connection options.
15+
16+
To connect to an instance or deployment not hosted on Atlas, see
17+
:manual:`Connection Strings </reference/connection-string/>` in the Server
18+
manual.
19+
20+
.. procedure::
21+
:style: connected
22+
23+
.. step:: Find your MongoDB Atlas connection string
24+
25+
To retrieve your connection string for the deployment that
26+
you created in the :ref:`previous step <laravel-quick-start-create-deployment>`,
27+
log in to your Atlas account. Then, navigate to the
28+
:guilabel:`Database` section and click the :guilabel:`Connect` button
29+
for your new deployment.
30+
31+
.. figure:: /includes/figures/atlas_connection_select_cluster.png
32+
:alt: The connect button in the clusters section of the Atlas UI
33+
34+
Proceed to the :guilabel:`Connect your application` section. Select
35+
"PHP" from the :guilabel:`Driver` selection menu and the version
36+
that best matches the version you installed from the :guilabel:`Version`
37+
selection menu.
38+
39+
Select the :guilabel:`Password (SCRAM)` authentication mechanism.
40+
41+
Deselect the :guilabel:`Include full driver code example` option to view
42+
the connection string.
43+
44+
.. step:: Copy your connection string
45+
46+
Click the button on the right of the connection string to copy it
47+
to your clipboard.
48+
49+
.. step:: Update the placeholders
50+
51+
Paste this connection string into a file in your preferred text editor
52+
and replace the ``<username>`` and ``<password>`` placeholders with
53+
your database user's username and password.
54+
55+
Save this file to a safe location for use in the next step.
56+
57+
After completing these steps, you have a connection string that
58+
contains your database username and password.
