This is my code

require('dotenv').config();
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const { Schema, model } = mongoose;

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true});
const personSchema = new Schema({
  name : {type: String, required: true},
  age :  Number,
  favoriteFoods : [String]
})
let Person = model('Person', personSchema);

const createAndSavePerson = (done) => {
  let doc = new Person({name: "pardon", age: 27, favoriteFoods: ['yam', "porriage"]});
  doc.save((err, data)=>{
    if (err) return console.error(err);
    done(null, data);
  })
};

and for some reason i always get this error on the console

Hello there,

Something to note:

  • Replit does not need the dotenv package to interact with environment variables
  • Within Replit, you should not have any .env files. Instead you should make use of the SECRETS tab located on the left task bar.
  • When you input your MONGO_URI in the SECRETS tab, try adding the value with and without quotation marks.

Hope this helps
