Use mongodb connection from other function in Go?

[illud]

I want to use mongodb connection from another function in golang example

func Conn(){
client, err := 
mongo.NewClient(options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://localhost:27017"))
 }

call that function.

func main(){
    Conn.client()//something like this
}

i resolved lke this

var CNX = Connection()
func Connection() *mongo.Client {
    // Set client options
    clientOptions := options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://localhost:27017")

    // Connect to MongoDB
    client, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), clientOptions)

    if err != nil {
          	log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Check the connection
    err = client.Ping(context.TODO(), nil)

    if err != nil {
	    log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Println("Connected to MongoDB!")

    return client
}

//calll connection
 func main() {
      collection := db.CNX.Database("tasks").Collection("task")
 }

output "Connected to MongoDB!"

That is one way of doing it, Another, is to use structs as your dependency injection tool.

Example:

type AppConnection struct {
  Client *mongo.Client
  IsConnected bool
  // and some other things that you need such as schemas etc..
}

func (ac AppConnection) Connect() {
    // Set client options
    clientOptions := options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://localhost:27017")

    // Connect to MongoDB
    client, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), clientOptions)

    if err != nil {
        ac.IsConnected = false
        return
    }

    // Check the connection
    err = client.Ping(context.TODO(), nil)

    if err != nil {
	    ac.IsConnected = false
        return
    }
    
    ac.IsConnected = true
    ac.Client = client

    fmt.Println("Connected to MongoDB!")
}

Now why this is good is you can pass around your pointer of AppConnection struct in other modules of your code without worrying about circular dependency while import.

Is not the same like this?

    var CNX = Connection()
    func Connection() *mongo.Client {
    // Set client options
    clientOptions := options.Client().ApplyURI("mongodb://localhost:27017")

    // Connect to MongoDB
    client, err := mongo.Connect(context.TODO(), clientOptions)

    if err != nil {
      	log.Fatal(err)
   }

    // Check the connection
    err = client.Ping(context.TODO(), nil)

    if err != nil {
	    log.Fatal(err)
    }

    fmt.Println("Connected to MongoDB!")

    return client
}

//calll connection
 func main() {
      collection := db.CNX.Database("tasks").Collection("task")
 }
