• PHP Version: "^8.1"
• Database Driver & Version: php_mongodb-1.16.2-8.1-nts-x64

Description:

Steps to reproduce

1. install Laravel-mongodb Version: "v4.0.0-ALPHA1
2. Configure database.php with

'connections' => [

        'mongodb' => [
            'driver' => env('MONGO_DB_CONNECTION'),
            'dsn' => env('MONGO_DB_URI'),
            'database' => env('MONGO_DB_DATABASE'),
]]

4. Create a model and try a post request

<?php

namespace App\Models;
use MongoDB\Laravel\Eloquent\Model;
class Test extends Model
{
    protected $connection = 'mongodb';

    protected $fillable = [
        'Test'
    ];
}

----------

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Json;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class JsonController extends Controller
{
 public function postTestForm(Request $request)
    {
        try {
            $test = Test::create([
                'Test' => $request->get('test'),
              
            ]);
            $test->save();

            return 'success test has been successfully created';
        } catch (\Exception $e) {
            return 'Error: ' . $e->getMessage();
        }
    }
}

Expected behaviour

I should get a new object in my database.

Actual behaviour

First, I never had to specify a 'host' with laravel 9 and jenssegers/mongodb but now i got ' "Error: Undefined array key "host""'.
So i have tried to had a host in my database config.
Then, when I try another time to postTestForm with the host added I got a return 'success test has been successfully created' but nothing is created in my database.

I have tried with v4.0.0-ALPHA1 and v4.0.0-ALPHA2.
I don't have this problem with laravel 9 and jenssegers package.

In your configuration, you must provide either dsn or host parameter. https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/php/laravel-mongodb/current/fundamentals/connection/connect-to-mongodb/#connection-example
