1. Install the MongoDB driver for Node.js: npm install mongodb

1.1. Create a MongoDB cluster and obtain the connection URI. 1.2. Create a .env.local file in the root directory of your Next.js project. 1.3. Add the following line to the .env.local file, replacing with your actual MongoDB connection URI:

MONGODB_URI=<your-connection-uri>

2. Create a MongoDB utility file:

2.1 Create a new file called mongodb.js in the utils folder of your project. 2.2 Add the following code to establish a connection with the MongoDB database:

import { MongoClient } from 'mongodb';

let cachedClient = null;

export async function connectToDatabase() {
  if (cachedClient && cachedClient.isConnected()) {
    return cachedClient;
  }

  const client = await MongoClient.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
  });

  cachedClient = client;
  return client;
}
