MongoDB and Mongoose - Install and Set Up Mongoose

Tell us what’s happening:

Hello,
I’m currently working through the FreeCodeCamp MongoDB and Mongoose project, and I’m having trouble with the MongoDB Atlas connection setup. I’ve followed the steps, but I’m unsure where to place the MongoDB connection string. FreeCodeCamp warns not to edit server.js, and I’m wondering if there’s another file or method for setting up the connection correctly. So, as it’s said to use this guide: MongoDB Atlas Tutorial – How to Get Started, but it seems outdated and unclear. I’m stuck in the process. Could you help me set up the account and connection correctly? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help!:blush:
