How to Connect and Perform CRUD Operation with MongoDB in Laravel: Complete Beginner Guide with Example

If you're looking to build scalable, high-performance Laravel applications with flexible schema support, MongoDB is a fantastic choice. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through how to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations in Laravel using MongoDB — with no complex setup.

We’ll use a real-world example: a Product CRUD operation with MongoDB in Laravel, and provide a Bootstrap-based form UI for inserting data.

🧠 Why Use MongoDB with Laravel?

Before diving into code, let's understand the benefits of using MongoDB with Laravel:

1. Flexible Schema: MongoDB is a NoSQL database, ideal for applications with dynamic data.
2. High Scalability: Easily handles large volumes of data and high-traffic apps.
3. JSON-Based Storage: MongoDB stores data in BSON (binary JSON), which aligns naturally with Laravel's JSON responses.
4. Performance: MongoDB shines in read-heavy applications and real-time systems.

📦 Step 1: Install MongoDB Package in Laravel

First, you need to install the official MongoDB Laravel package.

This package integrates Laravel with MongoDB, allowing you to use Eloquent ORM-style syntax.

⚙️ Step 2: Configure MongoDB Database in Laravel

Update .env file:

🔐 If you're using authentication with MongoDB, be sure to fill in DB_USERNAME and DB_PASSWORD.

Update config/database.php:

In the connections array, add:

Now, Laravel is ready to talk to MongoDB!

🧱 Step 3: Create Product Model (Using MongoDB)

Let’s create a simple Product model for our CRUD example.

Run the command:

Edit the generated model at app/Models/Product.php:

🧑‍💻 Step 4: Create Controller for CRUD Operations

Now let’s build the logic for inserting and retrieving products using MongoDB.

Create the controller:

Add the following code in ProductController.php:

This simple controller allows you to:

1. Create a new product
2. Display a list of all products

🌐 Step 5: Define Web Routes for Product CRUD

Open routes/web.php and define your routes:

Now we’re ready to create the front-end views.

🖥️ Step 6: Create Blade Views with Bootstrap

Let’s keep it simple and clean with Bootstrap 5 for our product create form and listing.

resources/views/product-create.blade.php

resources/views/product-list.blade.php

Now go to:

1. /product/create to add products
2. /products to list them

🧪 Step 7: Testing MongoDB CRUD in Laravel

After completing the above setup, here’s what you can test:

1. ✅ Add a product using the form
2. 📃 View all products in the list
3. 🧼 Clear or reset the database via Mongo shell if needed

If you're using MongoDB Compass, you'll be able to view your products collection in real time.

🎯 Conclusion: CRUD Operation with MongoDB in Laravel

You’ve just built a complete MongoDB CRUD system in Laravel with a working frontend! This guide is perfect for developers who want a clean and simple way to use MongoDB with Laravel without diving into complex schemas or third-party ORMs.

MongoDB offers unmatched flexibility for modern Laravel projects — from eCommerce to SaaS apps.
