MongoDB and Mongoose - Create and Save a Record of a Model

JavaScript
1

Hey everyone!
I’m working on the third task of MongoDB and Mongoose, where I have to save a document.

This is my code, I’ll only include till the createAndSavePerson function:

require('dotenv').config();

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI);

const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

// create Schema
const personSchema = new Schema({
  name: {type: String, required: true},
  age: Number,
  favoriteFoods: [String]
});

// create model
const Person = mongoose.model("Person", personSchema);

const createAndSavePerson = (done) => {
  // create document
  let nezumi = new Person({name: "Nezumi Shion", age: 100, favoriteFoods: ["eggs", "aubergines"]});

  nezumi.save((err,data) => {
    if(err) return console.log(err);
    done(null, data);
  });

This is my connection to mongoDB:

mongodb+srv://nezumiCodes:<password>@FreeCodeCamp.ut5mkho.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Also this is the error on the console:

GET
MongoError: (Unauthorized) not authorized on admin to execute command { insert: "people", documents: [[{favoriteFoods [eggs aubergines]} {_id ObjectID("62e7e842f9987215df47a82b")} {name Nezumi Shion} {age 100} {__v 0}]], ordered: true, writeConcern: { w: "majority" }, txnNumber: 2.000000, $clusterTime: { clusterTime: {1659365434 1}, signature: { hash: {0 [55 65 199 164 133 38 3 162 180 17 96 98 142 226 15 33 37 211 162 98]}, keyId: 7072364093310500864.000000 } }, lsid: { id: {4 [52 151 38 229 171 83 74 63 142 123 211 204 141 195 172 231]} } }

You can find the whole code here.

Could you please help me out, do you see any mistakes? It connects to the database but I can’t create a document. I have checked other topics on this task, but haven’t helped me :frowning:

Add a DB name to the connection string.

mongodb+srv://nezumiCodes:<password>@FreeCodeCamp.ut5mkho.mongodb.net/someDBName?retryWrites=true&w=majority

Thank you so much! I was going crazy. I was copying the URI from MongoDB and had no db-name field.
Thanks once again!!
