How to use GRIDFSBuckets with KMongo coroutine client

Question

I am trying to use GRIDFSBuckets in ktor to upload files. I am using KMongo coroutine extension to create my MongoDB client. When calling GRIDFSBucket.create(). Its parameters need a MongoDatabase and bucketName. This is fine but KMongo coroutines creates a CoroutineDatabase not a MongoDatabase that is needed. Is there anyway around this?

Answer 1

You can get a MongoDatabase instance from CoroutineDatabase by calling CoroutineDatabase.database. In your case that would be db.database
