# 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!
!!! 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`.
!!! info
If you want to add your own custom settings to your `User` document model - like changing the collection name - don't forget to let your inner `Settings` class inherit the pre-defined settings from `BeanieBaseUser` like this: `class Settings(BeanieBaseUser.Settings): # ...`! See Beanie's [documentation on `Settings`](https://beanie-odm.dev/tutorial/defining-a-document/#settings) for details.
## 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 [**Lifespan Events**](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/events/) on the FastAPI app:
```py
from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from beanie import init_beanie
@asynccontextmanager
async def lifespan(app: FastAPI):
await init_beanie(
database=db, # (1)!
document_models=[
User, # (2)!
],
)
yield
app = FastAPI(lifespan=lifespan)
```
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!
