# Create a new document

First, reference the collection you'd like to insert a document into.

```javascript
const projects = adamite().database().collection("projects");
```

Now, you can call `create` on the collection reference to insert a new document. The document (including it's automatically generated `id`) will be returned to you.

```javascript
const newProject = await projects.create({
  name: "Test"
});
```
