Properties

Properties

Optional ALPNProtocols

ALPNProtocols?: string[] | Uint8Array | Uint8Array[]

An array of strings or a Buffer naming possible ALPN protocols. (Protocols should be ordered by their priority.)

Optional appName

appName?: string

The name of the application that created this MongoClient instance. MongoDB 3.4 and newer will print this value in the server log upon establishing each connection. It is also recorded in the slow query log and profile collections

Optional auth

auth?: Auth

The auth settings for when connection to server.

Optional authMechanism

authMechanism?: AuthMechanism

Specify the authentication mechanism that MongoDB will use to authenticate the connection.

Optional authMechanismProperties

authMechanismProperties?: AuthMechanismProperties

Specify properties for the specified authMechanism as a comma-separated list of colon-separated key-value pairs.

Optional authSource

authSource?: string

Specify the database name associated with the user’s credentials.

Optional autoEncryption

autoEncryption?: AutoEncryptionOptions

Optionally enable in-use auto encryption

remarks

Automatic encryption is an enterprise only feature that only applies to operations on a collection. Automatic encryption is not supported for operations on a database or view, and operations that are not bypassed will result in error (see libmongocrypt: Auto Encryption Allow-List). To bypass automatic encryption for all operations, set bypassAutoEncryption=true in AutoEncryptionOpts.

Automatic encryption requires the authenticated user to have the listCollections privilege action.

If a MongoClient with a limited connection pool size (i.e a non-zero maxPoolSize) is configured with AutoEncryptionOptions, a separate internal MongoClient is created if any of the following are true:

  • AutoEncryptionOptions.keyVaultClient is not passed.
  • AutoEncryptionOptions.bypassAutomaticEncryption is false.

If an internal MongoClient is created, it is configured with the same options as the parent MongoClient except minPoolSize is set to 0 and AutoEncryptionOptions is omitted.

Optional bsonRegExp

bsonRegExp?: boolean

return BSON regular expressions as BSONRegExp instances.

Optional ca

ca?: string | Buffer | (string | Buffer)[]

Optionally override the trusted CA certificates. Default is to trust the well-known CAs curated by Mozilla. Mozilla's CAs are completely replaced when CAs are explicitly specified using this option.

Optional cert

cert?: string | Buffer | (string | Buffer)[]

Cert chains in PEM format. One cert chain should be provided per private key. Each cert chain should consist of the PEM formatted certificate for a provided private key, followed by the PEM formatted intermediate certificates (if any), in order, and not including the root CA (the root CA must be pre-known to the peer, see ca). When providing multiple cert chains, they do not have to be in the same order as their private keys in key. If the intermediate certificates are not provided, the peer will not be able to validate the certificate, and the handshake will fail.

Optional checkKeys

checkKeys?: boolean

the serializer will check if keys are valid.

Optional checkServerIdentity

checkServerIdentity?: (hostname: string, cert: PeerCertificate) => Error | undefined

Type declaration

    • (hostname: string, cert: PeerCertificate): Error | undefined

    • Verifies the certificate cert is issued to hostname.

      Returns Error object, populating it with reason, host, and cert on failure. On success, returns undefined.

      This function is intended to be used in combination with thecheckServerIdentity option that can be passed to connect and as such operates on a certificate object. For other purposes, consider using x509.checkHost() instead.

      This function can be overwritten by providing an alternative function as theoptions.checkServerIdentity option that is passed to tls.connect(). The overwriting function can call tls.checkServerIdentity() of course, to augment the checks done with additional verification.

      This function is only called if the certificate passed all other checks, such as being issued by trusted CA (options.ca).

      Earlier versions of Node.js incorrectly accepted certificates for a givenhostname if a matching uniformResourceIdentifier subject alternative name was present (see CVE-2021-44531). Applications that wish to acceptuniformResourceIdentifier subject alternative names can use a customoptions.checkServerIdentity function that implements the desired behavior.

      since

      v0.8.4

      Parameters

      • hostname: string

        The host name or IP address to verify the certificate against.

      • cert: PeerCertificate

        A certificate object representing the peer's certificate.

      Returns Error | undefined

Optional ciphers

ciphers?: string

An array or comma-delimited string of compressors to enable network compression for communication between this client and a mongod/mongos instance.

Use crypto.getCurves() to obtain a list of available curve names. On recent releases, openssl ecparam -list_curves will also display the name and description of each available elliptic curve. Default: tls.DEFAULT_ECDH_CURVE.

Optional proxyUsername

proxyUsername?: string

Optional raw

raw?: boolean

Enabling the raw option will return a Node.js Buffer which is allocated using allocUnsafe API. See this section from the Node.js Docs here for more detail about what "unsafe" refers to in this context. If you need to maintain your own editable clone of the bytes returned for an extended life time of the process, it is recommended you allocate your own buffer and clone the contents:

example
const raw = await collection.findOne({}, { raw: true });
const myBuffer = Buffer.alloc(raw.byteLength);
myBuffer.set(raw, 0);
// Only save and use `myBuffer` beyond this point
remarks

Please note there is a known limitation where this option cannot be used at the MongoClient level (see NODE-3946). It does correctly work at Db, Collection, and per operation the same as other BSON options work.

For example, use 'TLSv1_1_method' to force TLS version 1.1, or 'TLS_method' to allow any TLS protocol version up to TLSv1.3. It is not recommended to use TLS versions less than 1.2, but it may be required for interoperability. Default: none, see minVersion.
