In this chapter, we will take a look at using MongoDB with ASP.NET Core MVC by creating a task/bug logging application. A personal task manager is useful, and logging bugs is especially handy when you can't attend to them immediately.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Setting up MongoDB on your local machine
- A first look at using MongoDB Compass
- Creating an ASP.NET Core MVC application and integrating MongoDB
You might be wondering why we would choose MongoDB. The question you need to ask is, how much effort do you want to go through to create a simple application?
