I’m having problems connecting to my mongoDB Database JavaScript

JavaScript

Hey Guys ! I’m building a simple CRUD operation using Mongodb, Here’s the code:

const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();

app.listen(4000,function () {
    console.log('Server is listening on port 4000');
})

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}));

app.get('/',(req,res) => {
    // res.send('Hello World');
    res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
})
app.post('/quotes',(req,res) => {
    console.log(req.body);
})

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient
MongoClient.connect('connectionString',{useUnifiedTopology: true, useNewUrlParser: true },(err,client)=>{
    if (err) return console.error(err);
        console.log('Connected to database')
})

> And I don’t know how to remove this error:

[nodemon] starting node server.js
MongoParseError: Invalid connection string

Replace connectionString with the port of mongoDB

This the docs for reference
https://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/driver-articles/mongoclient.html

I don’t understand …

#Mohamed-Magdey !! I replace the >MongoClient.connect(‘connectionString’,
with:

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;

MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017',{useUnifiedTopology: true },(err,client)=>{

    if (err) return console.error(err);

        console.log('Connected to database');

})

But its either not working !! and giving another error

You should do something like this:
MongoClient.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/integration_test", function(err, db)

Do you work with mongoDB locally?

8

I just newly start doing work with Mongo … couple a days ago … and I’m just implementing the things.
I’m using cloud mongodb atlas right now

9

Then the url should refer to that atlas not to the localhost.

10

how to implement url ?

11

Did you create culster?

12

Yes I create that !!!

13

Then follow this step https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/connect-to-cluster/
and put the ip to 0.0.0.0 so you can access to the DB from anyware.
After you click connect choose connect your application and the url you want will appear.
