MongoDB connection fails with current default options

Since ssl option is set to false, it is not possible to establish a connection to a MongoDB server using an ecrypted connection (e.g. MongoDB Atlas). This option is not even featured in how to connect to each database in README.md. It would be great if the documentation on how to get started is updated as well as defaulting ssl option to true.

@freitzzz according to the mongodb docs you can - https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/#connection-options

Didn’t know about this, thank you

Yes. And using that repo I was able to get mine working! Thanks!

for others who struggle with this. My changes were this:

1. Add ?retryWrites=true&w=majority to the end of the mongo url
2. Add the following options

const eventStoreClient = eventstore({
  type: 'mongodb',
  url: config.MONGO_URL,
  eventsCollectionName: 'events', // optional
  snapshotsCollectionName: 'snapshots', // optional
  transactionsCollectionName: 'transactions', // optional
  timeout: 10000, // optional
  options: {
    ssl: true,
    autoReconnect: false,
    useNewUrlParser: true
  }
});

This is what I added.

 options: {
    ssl: true,
    autoReconnect: false,
    useNewUrlParser: true
  }
