If you wish to use MongoDB as an actor store, append the following to the yaml.
### Actor state store and transactions support
For using as an actor state store or to leverage transactions, MongoDB must be running in a [Replica Set](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/replication/).
If you wish to use MongoDB as an actor store, add this metadata option to your Component YAML:
```yaml
- name: actorStateStore
value: "true"
```
## Spec metadata fields
| Field | Required | Details | Example |
|--------------------|:--------:|---------|---------|
| server | Y<sup>*</sup> | The server to connect to, when using DNS SRV record | `"server.example.com"`
| host | Y<sup>*</sup> | The host to connect to | `"mongo-mongodb.default.svc.cluster.local:27017"`
| server | Y<sup>1</sup> | The server to connect to, when using DNS SRV record | `"server.example.com"`
| host | Y<sup>1</sup> | The host to connect to | `"mongo-mongodb.default.svc.cluster.local:27017"`
| username | N | The username of the user to connect with (applicable in conjunction with `host`) | `"admin"`
| password | N | The password of the user (applicable in conjunction with `host`) | `"password"`
| databaseName | N | The name of the database to use. Defaults to `"daprStore"` | `"daprStore"`

This state store supports [Time-To-Live (TTL)]({{< ref state-store-ttl.md >}}) for records stored with Dapr. When storing data using Dapr, you can set the `ttlInSeconds` metadata property to indicate when the data should be considered "expired".
