# Setup

A Nuxt module for simplifying the use of Mongoose in your project.

## Installation

1. Install `nuxt-mongoose` to your dependencies.
```bash
npx nuxi@latest module add nuxt-mongoose
```

2. Add `nuxt-mongoose` to the `modules` section of your `nuxt.config` file.

```ts [nuxt.config]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-mongoose',
  ],
})
```

::alert{ type=success }
  That's it! You can now use Mongoose in your Nuxt app ✨

## Options

You can configure the module by adding a `mongoose` section to your `nuxt.config` file.
read more about [Mongoose options](/docs/getting-started/configuration).

```ts [nuxt.config]
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  mongoose: {
    // Options
  },
})
```
If you want to configure only the `uri` just add `MONGODB_URI` in your `.env` file.

```env
MONGODB_URI=YOUR_MONGO_URI
```
