official Dart driver
We use mongo in weebi Dart / Flutter application.
We would be eternally grateful if you could implement an official Dart Driver,
There is already an unofficial mongo dart repo :
https://github.com/mongo-dart
The specific feature we need is Ejson
https://github.com/mongo-dart/bson/issues/29
Thank you for building a great tool

Mongodb is great and so is flutter. I assume you are aware of it. Many people have switched to flutter for creating either multi-platform apps or beautiful UI apps. Previously javascript was used for creating multi-platform apps but nowadays flutter is beating every js framework whether it is react native, electron, tauri or something else. The thing that makes developer still choose Javascript is the widely available native database drivers. It helps people creating the frontend and backend in same Javascript language. I love dart and create every app with flutter but I have to create the backend with NodeJS. This is difficult to work with two general purpose languages in parallel. So please create official MongoDB database driver for dart. It will help us considering dart for backend as well.
This is very important for MongoDB also because Flutter is used for all platforms (Android, iOS, Web, Linux, Windows, macOS and in future, Fuchsia also.) apps. Firebase is also creating driver for desktop.

hi, I saw you released a realm db for dart and flutter apps, what about official mongo db drive to connect to server side mongo instance, I think tones if peoples want this feature, Firestone got an amazing sdk but if I don't want to switch to Firestore I need really good driver for this.
thank you -

Rachelle you are probably posting the reply to the wrong thread.
The OP clearly state "Mongo" driver as he also mentioned a community-maintained driver as an example.
But the repository you posted is "Realm" driver, which is not the same product. -

Hello Rachelle, If I understand, realm is a mobile database, while dart driver allows you to connect to a MongoDB instance on the server-side. How is this related? Thank you.

I also suggest release a dart driver. Its important if MongoDB wants to increase its presence in cross-platform mobile applications.
