# Quick start
Mongock is set up in a few steps, which will be explained briefly in this section and more detailed in the rest of the documentation:
1- Importing artifact dependencies(maven, gradle, etc.):
- Mongock's bom
- Mongock's runner
- Mongock's driver
- MongoDB driver or specific underlying library
2- Configure and run Mongock: Annotation approach or traditional builder approach.
All the steps in group 1(importing artifact dependencies) are common independently of the approach you use(annotation or builder).
# Checking the last version
The easiest and most trustable way to check the last Mongock's version is to visit the artifact repository
# Importing artifact dependencies
Both approaches share the first 4 steps. All of them related to your pom file.
1- Import the last version of Mongock's bom to your pom file
<dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>com.github.cloudyrock.mongock</groupId> <artifactId>mongock-bom</artifactId> <version>LAST_RELEASE_VERSION_4</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies></dependencyManagement>
2- Import runner dependency. For more information, check the runner compatibility table.
Spring 5
<dependency> <groupId>com.github.cloudyrock.mongock</groupId> <artifactId>mongock-spring-v5</artifactId></dependency>
Mongock Standalone
<dependency> <groupId>com.github.cloudyrock.mongock</groupId> <artifactId>mongock-standalone</artifactId></dependency>
3- Import driver dependency. For more information, check the driver compatibility table.

<dependency> <groupId>com.github.cloudyrock.mongock</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-springdata-v3-driver</artifactId></dependency>
Spring data 2
<dependency> <groupId>com.github.cloudyrock.mongock</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-springdata-v2-driver</artifactId></dependency>
MongoDB sync driver 4
<dependency> <groupId>com.github.cloudyrock.mongock</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-sync-v4-driver</artifactId></dependency>
MongoDB driver 3
<dependency> <groupId>com.github.cloudyrock.mongock</groupId> <artifactId>mongodb-v3-driver</artifactId></dependency>
4- Import your MongoDB and Spring Data dependencies. In order to avoid transitive dependency issues, Mongock doesn't import any MongoDB or Spring Data library. So you need to provide them. For more information, check the driver compatibility table.

# Building and running Mongock: Annotation vs Builder
Once you have successfully imported the necessary dependencies, as we briefly explained in Main concepts, there are two ways you can build and run Mongock. In most cases, when using Spring framework, the most easy and convenient way is the annotation approach. However, sometimes you are not using Spring or you need more control over your Mongock bean. In that case you should opt for the traditional builder approach.
# Annotation approach
When opting for annotation approach, all your configuration will be set in your properties file. However, for minimal configuration you only need to specify a changeLog package, the rest of the configuration will use default values.
Then, you only need to tell Spring to use Mongock by annotating your Spring boot application with @EnableMongock annotation
1- Add your changeLog package path to your property file: Minimal configuration requires at least one changeLog package(it's an array, so you can add more than one), but anything you can configure manually with the builder, you can do it as well with properties. However note that Mongock provides default values. Worthy noticing the lock, which is now enabled by default, unlike older versions where you need to explicitly enable it, due to backward compatibility.

- Annotate your SpringBootApplication with @EnableMongock
@EnableMongock@SpringBootApplicationpublic class App { public static void main(String[] args) { new SpringApplicationBuilder().sources(App.class).run(args); }}
# Traditional builder approach
While the annotation approach is more convenient, the traditional builder approach is useful when you need more control over your bean creation, or inevitable if you are not using Spring.
In this case you need to build the Mongock Instance yourself and , in case of Spring, provide the Mongock Bean.
Spring ApplicationRunner
public MongockApplicationRunner mongockApplicationRunner( ApplicationContext springContext, MongoTemplate mongoTemplate) { return MongockSpring5.builder() .setDriver(SpringDataMongoV3Driver.withDefaultLock(mongoTemplate)) .addChangeLogsScanPackage("your_changeLog_package_path") .setSpringContext(springContext) .buildApplicationRunner(); }
Spring InitializingBean
public MongockInitializingBeanRunner mongockInitializingBeanRunner( ApplicationContext springContext, MongoTemplate mongoTemplate){ return MongockSpring5.builder() .setDriver(SpringDataMongoV3Driver.withDefaultLock(mongoTemplate)) .addChangeLogsScanPackage("your_changeLog_package_path") .setSpringContext(springContext) .buildInitializingBeanRunner(); }
Standalone
MongoClient mongoClient = MongoClients.create("MongoDB connection string");MongockStandalone.builder() .setDriver(MongoSync4Driver.withDefaultLock(mongoCient.getDatabase("db")) .addChangeLogsScanPackage("your_changeLog_package_path") .buildRunner()// when using standalone runner, you need to run it manuallyrunner.execute();
