Function configureExplicitResourceManagement

Attaches Symbol.asyncDispose methods to the MongoClient, Cursors, sessions and change streams if Symbol.asyncDispose is defined.

It's usually not necessary to call this method - the driver attempts to attach these methods itself when its loaded. However, sometimes the driver may be loaded before Symbol.asyncDispose is defined, in which case it is necessary to call this method directly. This can happen if the application is polyfilling Symbol.asyncDispose.

Example:

import { configureExplicitResourceManagement, MongoClient } from 'mongodb/lib/beta';

Symbol.asyncDispose ??= Symbol('dispose');
load();

await using client = new MongoClient(...);
