# Beanie
**FastAPI Users** provides the necessary tools to work with MongoDB databases using the [Beanie ODM](https://github.com/roman-right/beanie).
## Setup database connection and collection
The first thing to do is to create a MongoDB connection using [mongodb/motor](https://github.com/mongodb/motor) (automatically installed with Beanie).
```py hl_lines="5-9"
--8<-- "docs/src/db_beanie.py"
```
You can choose any name for the database.
## Create the User model
As for any Beanie ODM model, we'll create a `User` model.
```py hl_lines="12-13"
--8<-- "docs/src/db_beanie.py"
```
As you can see, **FastAPI Users** provides a base class that will include base fields for our `User` table. You can of course add you own fields there to fit to your needs!
!!! tip "Document ID is a MongoDB ObjectID"
Beanie [automatically manages document ID](https://roman-right.github.io/beanie/tutorial/defining-a-document/#id) by encoding/decoding MongoDB ObjectID.
If you want to use another type, like UUID, you can override the `id` field:
```py
import uuid
from pydantic import Field
class User(BeanieBaseUser[uuid.UUID]):
id: uuid.UUID = Field(default_factory=uuid.uuid4)
```
Notice that `BeanieBaseUser` expects a generic type to define the actual type of ID you use.
!!! info
The base class is configured to automatically create a [unique index](https://roman-right.github.io/beanie/tutorial/defining-a-document/#indexes) on `id` and `email`.
## Create the database adapter
The database adapter of **FastAPI Users** makes the link between your database configuration and the users logic. It should be generated by a FastAPI dependency.
```py hl_lines="16-17"
--8<-- "docs/src/db_beanie.py"
```
Notice that we pass a reference to the `User` model we defined above.
## Initialize Beanie
When initializing your FastAPI app, it's important that you [**initialize Beanie**](https://roman-right.github.io/beanie/tutorial/initialization/) so it can discover your models. We can achieve this using a startup event handler on the FastAPI app:
```py
from beanie import init_beanie
@app.on_event("startup")
async def on_startup():
await init_beanie(
database=db, # (1)!
document_models=[
User, # (2)!
],
)
```
1. This is the `db` Motor database instance we defined above.
2. This is the Beanie `User` model we defined above. Don't forget to also add your very own models!
