+Overview
+--------
+
+In this guide, you can learn how to connect your Laravel application to a
+MongoDB instance or replica set deployment by using {+odm-short+}.
+
+This guide includes the following sections:
+
+- :ref:`Connection URI <laravel-connection-uri>`, which explains connection
+  URIs and their constituent parts
+- :ref:`laravel-database-config`, which explains how to set up your MongoDB
+  database connection for your Laravel app.
+- :ref:`Connection Example <laravel-atlas-connection-example>`, which  provides
+  examples that show how to connect to MongoDB by using an Atlas connection
+  string.
+- :ref:`laravel-other-ways-to-connect` describes ways to connect to MongoDB
+  deployments that are not hosted on Atlas.
+
+.. _laravel-connection-uri:
+
+Connection URI
+--------------
+
+A **connection URI**, also known as a connection string, specifies how
+{+odm-short+} connects to MongoDB and how to behave while connected.
+
+Parts of a Connection URI
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following figure explains each part of a sample connection URI:
+
+.. figure:: /includes/figures/connection_uri_parts.png
+   :alt: Parts of a connection URI
+
+In this connection URI, ``mongodb+srv`` is the protocol, which uses the
+:manual:`DNS Seed List Connection Format </reference/connection-string/#dns-seed-list-connection-format>`
+for greater flexibility in your deployment and the ability to change the
+servers in rotation without reconfiguring clients.
+
+If the machine that hosts your MongoDB deployment does not support this
+feature, use protocol for the
+:manual:`Standard Connection String Format </reference/connection-string/#std-label-connections-standard-connection-string-format>`
+instead.
+
+If you use a password-based authentication, the part of the connection
+string after the protocol contains your username and password. Replace the
+placeholder for ``user`` with your username and ``pass`` with your password.
+If you use an authentication mechanism that does not require a username
+and password, omit this part of the connection URI.
+
+The part of the connection string after the credentials specifies your MongoDB
+instance's hostname or IP address and port. The preceding example uses
+``sample.host`` as the hostname and ``27017`` as the port. Replace these values
+to point to your MongoDB instance.
+
+The last part of the connection string specifies connection and authentication
+options. In the example, we set the following connection options and values:
+
+- ``maxPoolSize=20``
+- ``w=majority``
+
+.. _laravel-database-config:
+
+Laravel Database Connection Configuration
+------------------------------------------
+
+{+odm-short+} lets you configure your MongoDB database connection in the
+``config/database.php`` Laravel application file. You can specify the following
+connection details in this file:
+
+- ``default``, which specifies the database connection to use when unspecified
+- ``connections``, which contains database connection information to access
+  one or more databases from your application
+
+You can use the following code in the configuration file to set the default
+connection to a corresponding ``mongodb`` entry in the ``connections`` array:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+   'default' => 'mongodb',
+
+For a MongoDB database connection, you can specify the following details:
+
+.. list-table::
+   :header-rows: 1
+   :widths: 25 75
+
+   * - Setting
+     - Description
+
+   * - ``driver``
+     - Specifies the database driver to use for the connection.
+
+   * - ``dsn``
+     - The data source name (DSN) that specifies the MongoDB connection URI.
+
+   * - ``host``
+     - | Specifies the network address and port of one or more MongoDB nodes
+         in a deployment. You can use this setting instead of the ``dsn``
+         setting.
+       | To specify a single host, pass the hostname and port as a string as
+         shown in the following example:
+
+       .. code-block:: php
+          :copyable: false
+
+          'host' => 'myhost.example.com:27017',
+
+       | To specify multiple hosts, pass them in an array as shown in the
+         following example::
+
+       .. code-block:: php
+          :copyable: false
+
+          'host' => ['node1.example.com:27017', 'node2.example.com:27017', 'node3.example.com:27017'],
+
+       .. note::
+
+          This option does not accept hosts that use the DNS seedlist
+          connection format.
+
+   * - ``database``
+     - Specifies the name of the MongoDB database to read and write to.
+
+   * - ``username``
+     - Specifies your database user's username credential to authenticate
+       with MongoDB.
+
+   * - ``password``
+     - Specifies your database user's password credential to authenticate
+       with MongoDB.
+
+   * - ``options``
+     - Specifies connection options to pass to MongoDB that determine the
+       connection behavior.
+
+   * - ``driverOptions``
+     - Specifies options specific to pass to the MongoDB PHP Library driver
+       that determine the driver behavior for that connection.
+
+.. note::
+
+   You can specify the following settings in the ``dsn`` configuration
+   as parameters in your MongoDB connection string instead of as array items:
+
+   - ``host``
+   - ``username``
+   - ``password``
+   - ``options`` and ``driverOptions``, which are specified by the option name
+
+The following example shows how you can specify your MongoDB connection details
+in the ``connections`` array item:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+   :caption: Example config/database.php MongoDB connection configuration
+
+   'connections' => [
+       'mongodb' => [
+           'driver' => 'mongodb',
+           'dsn' => 'mongodb+srv//myUser:myPass123@sample.host:27017/',
+           'database' => 'sample_mflix',
+           'options' => [
+               'maxPoolSize' => 20,
+               'w' => 'majority',
+           ],
+           'driverOptions' => [
+               'serverApi' => 1,
+           ],
+       ],
+       // ...
+   ],
+
+The following sections provide common ways of specifying MongoDB connections.
+
+.. _laravel-atlas-connection-example:
+
+Connection Example
+------------------
+
+This section shows how to configure your Laravel application's DSN by using a
+MongoDB Atlas connection string.
+
+To add your MongoDB DSN to your Laravel application, make the following changes:
+
+- Add the DSN as an environment variable in your project's ``.env`` environment
+  configuration file. Set the variable value to your Atlas connection string.
+- Add a connection entry for your MongoDB connection in the ``connections``
+  array of your ``config/database.php`` configuration file. Set the ``dsn``
+  value of the connection entry to reference the environment variable that
+  contains your DSN.
+
+The following examples show how to specify ``"mongodb+srv://myUser:myPass123@mongodb0.example.com/"``
+as the connection string in the relevant configuration files:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+   :caption: Sample .env environment configuration
+
+   DB_URI="mongodb+srv://myUser:myPass123@mongodb0.example.com/"
+
+.. code-block:: php
+   :caption: Sample config/database.php connection entry
+   :emphasize-lines: 3
+
+   'connections' => [
+       'mongodb' => [
+           'dsn' => env('DB_URI'), // uses the value of the DB_URI environment variable
+           'driver' => 'mongodb',
+           'database' => 'sample_mflix',
+           // ...
+       ],
+     // ...
+   ]
+
+.. tip::
+
+   To retrieve your Atlas connection string, follow the
+   :ref:`Create a Connection String <laravel-quick-start-connection-string>`
+   step of the Quick Start tutorial.
+
+.. _laravel-other-ways-to-connect:
+
+Other Ways to Connect to MongoDB
+--------------------------------
+
+The following sections show you how to connect to a single MongoDB server
+instance or a replica set not hosted on MongoDB Atlas.
+
+.. _laravel-connect-localhost:
+
+Connect to a MongoDB Server on Your Local Machine
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This section shows an example connection string you can use when running a
+Laravel application and MongoDB server from the same machine, such as your
+local development environment.
+
+To connect your application to a MongoDB instance hosted on the same machine,
+you must complete the following tasks:
+
+- Download, install, and run the MongoDB server.
+- Obtain the IP address and port on which your MongoDB server is running. If
+  you use the default settings of a local installation of MongoDB server,
+  the IP address is ``127.0.0.1``, and the port is ``27017``.
+- Set up your ``config/database.php`` connection to reference the environment
+  variable ``DB_URI`` for the value of the ``dsn``, as shown in the
+  :ref:`laravel-atlas-connection-example` section.
+
+The following example shows a sample connection string that you can add to the
+``.env`` file if your application connects to a MongoDB server running on the
+default IP address and port:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+   :caption: Sample .env environment configuration to connect to a local MongoDB server.
+
+   DB_URI="mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/";
+
+To learn how to download  and install MongoDB server, see
+:manual:`Install MongoDB Community Edition </installation/#mongodb-installation-tutorials>`
+in the {+server-docs-name+}.
+
+.. _laravel-connect-replica-set:
+
+Connect to a Replica Set
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A MongoDB replica set deployment is a group of connected instances, or nodes,
+where the nodes store the same data set. This configuration of instances
+provides data redundancy and high data availability.
+
+To connect to a replica set deployment, specify each node's hostname and port
+number, separated by commas, and the replica set name as the value of the
+``replicaSet`` parameter in the connection string.
+
+This example, which shows the connection string you can add to your
+Laravel application's ``.env`` file to connect to a replica set, uses the
+following sample values:
+
+- ``host1``, ``host2``, and ``host3`` as the hostnames of the MongoDB nodes
+- ``27017`` as the port on which MongoDB runs on those hosts
+- ``myRS`` as the configured name of the replica set
+- ``myUser`` and ``myPass123`` as the credentials of a database user
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   DB_URI="mongodb://myUser:myPass123@host1:27017,host2:27017,host3:27017/?replicaSet=myRS"
+
+When connecting to a replica set, the library that {+odm-short+} uses to manage
+connections with MongoDB performs the following actions unless otherwise
+specified:
+
+- Discovers all replica set members when given the address of any one member.
+- Sends operations to the appropriate member, such as instructions
+  to write against the **primary** node. To learn more about the replica
+  set primary, see :manual:`Replica Set Primary </core/replica-set-primary/>`
+  in the {+server-docs-name+}.
+
+.. tip::
+
+   You are required to specify only one host to connect to a replica set.
+   However, to ensure connectivity when the selected host is unavailable,
+   provide the full list of hosts.
+
+To learn more about setting up a MongoDB replica set, see
+:manual:`Deploy a Replica Set </tutorial/deploy-replica-set/>` in the
+{+server-docs-name+}.
+
+Direct Connection
+`````````````````
+
+To force operations to run on a specific node in a MongoDB replica set,
+specify the connection information for the node in the connection string and
+the ``directConnection`` parameter with a ``true`` value.
+
+Direct connections include the following limitations:
+
+- DNS seed list connection format connection strings cannot be used.
+- Write operations fail when the specified host is not the primary.
+- When the host is not the primary, you must specify the  ``secondary`` read
+  preference in your connection options. To learn more about this limitation, see the
+  :manual:`secondary read preference entry </core/read-preference/#mongodb-readmode-secondary>`
+  in the {+server-docs-name+}.
+
+The following example shows the connection string you can add to your
+Laravel application's ``.env`` file to establish a direct connection to a
+secondary node in a MongoDB replica set. The example uses the following sample
+values:
+
+- ``host2`` as the hostname of the secondary node
+- ``27017`` as the port on which the MongoDB node listens on
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+   :caption: Sample .env environment configuration to enable a direct connection
+
+   DB_URI="mongodb://host2:27017/?directConnection=true&readPreference=secondary"

+--------
+
+In this guide, you can learn about connection, authentication, and driver
+options and how to specify them in your Laravel application's database
+connection configuration. Connection options are passed to the {+php-library+},
+which manages your database connections.
+
+To learn more about the {+php-library+}, see the
+`{+php-library+} documentation <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/php-library/current/>`__.
+
+This guide covers the following topics:
+
+- :ref:`laravel-connection-auth-options`
+- :ref:`laravel-driver-options`
+
+.. _laravel-connection-auth-options:
+
+Connection and Authentication Options
+-------------------------------------
+
+Learn how to add common connection and authentication options to your
+configuration file in the following sections:
+
+- :ref:`laravel-connection-auth-example`
+- :ref:`laravel-connection-auth-descriptions`
+
+.. _laravel-connection-auth-example:
+
+Add Connection and Authentication Options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can specify connection or authentication options in your Laravel web
+application's ``config/database.php`` configuration file by using one of the
+following methods:
+
+- Add the setting and value as an array item in the ``options`` array item.
+- Append the setting and value as a query string parameter on the connection
+  string specified in the ``dsn`` array item.
+
+To specify an option in the ``options`` array, add its name and value as an
+array item, as shown in the following example:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+   :emphasize-lines: 6-10
+
+   'connections' => [
+       'mongodb' => [
+           'dsn' => 'mongodb+srv://mongodb0.example.com/',
+           'driver' => 'mongodb',
+           'database' => 'sample_mflix',
+           'options' => [
+               'appName' => 'myLaravelApp',
+               'compressors' => 'zlib',
+               'zlibCompressionLevel' => 7,
+           ],
+       ],
+   ],
+
+To specify options as parameters in the connection string, use the following
+query string syntax formatting:
+
+- Add the question mark character, ``?``, to separate the host information
+  from the parameters.
+- Add the options by formatting them as ``<option>=<value>``.
+- Insert the ampersand character, ``&``, between each option and value pair
+  to separate them.
+
+The following setting example shows the connection string parameter syntax:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+   'dsn' => 'mongodb+srv://mongodb0.example.com/?appName=myLaravelApp&compressors=zlib',
+
+.. _laravel-connection-auth-descriptions:
+

+       | Specifying ``appName`` can help you identify activities related
+         to that application in the server logs.
+
+   * - **authMechanism**
+     - String
+     - None
+     - Specifies which authentication mechanism to use. If you do not
+       specify this option, the driver uses the default authentication

+       the ``authMechanism`` option.
+
+   * - **authSource**
+     - String
+     - See description
+     - | Specifies the database used to authenticate.
+       | This option defaults to ``admin`` for SCRAM-based authentication
+         mechanisms, ``$external`` for the ``MONGODB-X509`` mechanism, and the
+         database name or ``$external`` for the ``PLAIN`` mechanism.
+
+   * - **compressors**
+     - A comma-separated list of strings
+     - None
+     - Specifies data compressors that the {+php-library+} uses to reduce the

+       the specified order.
+
+   * - **connectTimeoutMS**
+     - Non-negative integer
+     - ``10000`` (10 seconds)
+     - Specifies the connection timeout, in milliseconds, passed to each
+       underlying TCP stream when attempting to connect to the server.
+
+   * - **directConnection**
+     - Boolean
+     - ``false``
+     - Specifies whether to directly connect to a single host instead of
+       discovering and connecting to all servers in the cluster.
+
+   * - **heartbeatFrequencyMS**
+     - Integer greater than or equal to ``500``
+     - ``10000`` (10 seconds)
+     - Specifies the time in milliseconds that each monitoring thread
+       waits between performing server checks.
+
+   * - **journal**

+       journal.
+
+   * - **localThresholdMS**
+     - Non-negative integer
+     - ``15``
+     - | Specifies the time in milliseconds that the average round-trip time
+         between the driver and server can last compared to the shortest
+         round-trip time of all the suitable servers.
+       | A value of ``0`` indicates no latency window, so only the server with
+         the lowest average round-trip time is eligible.
+
+   * - **maxIdleTimeMS**
+     - Non-negative integer
+     - ``0``
+     - | Specifies the time in milliseconds that a connection can remain idle
+         in a connection pool before the server closes it.
+       | A value of ``0`` indicates that the client does not close idle
+         connections.
+
+   * - **maxStalenessSeconds**
+     - ``-1``, or any integer greater than or equal to ``90``
+     - ``-1``
+     - | Specifies the maximum lag, in seconds, behind the primary node
+         that a secondary node can be considered for the given operation.
+       | This option's value must be at least ``90``, or the operation raises
+         an error. A value of ``-1`` means there is no maximum lag.
+
+   * - **maxPoolSize**
+     - Non-negative integer
+     - ``10``
+     - | Specifies the maximum number of connections that the {+php-library+}
+         can create in a connection pool for a given server.
+       | If you attempt an operation while the value of ``maxPoolSize``

+     - ``false``
+     - | Specifies the TLS configuration for the {+php-library+} to use in its
+         connections with the server.
+       | By default, TLS is off.
+
+   * - **tlsAllowInvalidCertificates**
+     - Boolean
+     - ``false``
+     - | Specifies whether the {+php-library+} returns an error if the server
+         presents an invalid certificate.
+       | We recommend setting this option to ``true`` only in testing
+         environments to avoid creating security vulnerabilities in your
+         application.
+
+   * - **tlsCAFile**
+     - String
+     - See description
+     - | Specifies the path to the certificate authority (CA) file that
+         the {+php-library+} uses for TLS.
+       | If you do not specify this option, the driver uses the Mozilla
+         root certificates from the ``webpki-roots`` crate.
+
+   * - **tlsCertificateKeyFile**
+     - String
+     - None
+     - | Specifies the path to the certificate file that {+php-library+}
+         presents to the server to verify its identity.
+       | If you do not set this option, the {+php-library+} does not
+         attempt to verify its identity with the server.
+
+   * - **tlsInsecure**
+     - Boolean
+     - ``false``
+     - | Specifies whether the {+php-library+} returns an error if the server
+         presents an invalid certificate.
+       | We recommend setting this option to ``true`` only in testing
+         environments to avoid creating security vulnerabilities in your
+         application.
+
+   * - **w**
+     - Non-negative integer or string
+     - None
+     - | Requests acknowledgment that the operation has propagated to a
+         specific number or variety of servers.
+       | To learn more, see :manual:`Write Concern </reference/write-concern>`
+         in the Server manual.
+
+   * - **wTimeoutMS**
+     - Non-negative integer
+     - No timeout
+     - Specifies a time limit, in milliseconds, of the write concern.
+       If an operation has not propagated to the requested level within the
+       time limit, the {+php-library+} raises an error.
+
+   * - **zlibCompressionLevel**
+     - Integer between ``-1`` and ``9`` (inclusive)
+     - ``-1``
+     - | Specifies the level field of the ``zlib`` compression if you use that compressor.
+       | Setting a value of ``-1`` selects the default compression level (``6``).
+       | Setting a value of ``0`` specifies no compression, and setting
+         a value of ``9`` specifies maximum compression.

+Driver Connection Options
+-------------------------
+
+Driver options modify the behavior of the {+php-library+}, which manages
+connections and all operations between a Laravel application and MongoDB.
+
+You can specify driver options in your Laravel web application's
+``config/database.php`` configuration file. To add driver options,
+add the setting and value as an array item in the ``driverOptions`` array
+item, as shown in the following example:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+   :emphasize-lines: 6-9
+
+   'connections' => [
+       'mongodb' => [
+           'dsn' => 'mongodb+srv://mongodb0.example.com/',
+           'driver' => 'mongodb',
+           'database' => 'sample_mflix',
+           'driverOptions' => [
+               'serverApi' => 1,
+               'allow_invalid_hostname' => false,
+           ],
+       ],
+   ]
+
+See the `$driverOptions: array <https://www.mongodb.com/docs/php-library/current/reference/method/MongoDBClient__construct/#parameters>`__
+section of the {+php-library+} documentation for a list of driver options.
