Installation and Features

Importing

The driver is available on crates.io. To use the driver in your application, simply add it to your project's Cargo.toml.

[dependencies]
mongodb = "2.1.0"

Configuring the async runtime

The driver supports both of the most popular async runtime crates, namely tokio and async-std. By default, the driver will use tokio, but you can explicitly choose a runtime by specifying one of "tokio-runtime" or "async-std-runtime" feature flags in your Cargo.toml.

For example, to instruct the driver to work with async-std, add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.mongodb]
version = "2.1.0"
default-features = false
features = ["async-std-runtime"]

Enabling the sync API

The driver also provides a blocking sync API. To enable this, add the "sync" or "tokio-sync" feature to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies.mongodb]
version = "2.1.0"
default-features = false
features = ["sync"]

Note: The sync-specific types can be imported from mongodb::sync (e.g. mongodb::sync::Client).
