  • The code for an IBM Cloud solution tutorial on a database-driven Slackbot uses Cloud Function access Db2 or PostgreSQL. See here https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/slack-chatbot-database-watson/ and adapt it to MongoDB – data_henrik Aug 08 '19 at 09:34
  • Can you paste up the sample code that isn't working for you? – James Thomas Aug 08 '19 at 14:33

Here's a good documentation of how mongoDB can be used with IBM Cloud functions: https://thecodebarbarian.com/getting-started-with-ibm-cloud-functions-and-mongodb

It has a step by step flow for getting through your requirement for NodeJS.

const mongodb = require('mongodb');

const uri = 'mongodb+srv://OMITTED.mongodb.net/test';

let client = null;

async function main(params) {
   const reused = client != null;
   if (client == null) {
     client = await mongodb.MongoClient.connect(uri);  
   }

   const docs = await client.db('test').collection('tests').find().toArray();

   return { body: { result: docs, reused } };
 }

 exports.main = main;

The code above should be what you end up with.
