Tell us what’s happening:
Hi team - I spent some time looking at this and cannot find out why it’s not connecting to the mongoose database - glitch linked below. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Hi @avian21u

Welcome to the FCC forum. The link is not for the glitch project. It is therefore difficult to tell why your app is not connecting to the DB.

Oh, I realized the glitch link doesn’t show the underlying link. This is what I have in Glitch - would this be helpful?

mongo.env:

MONGO_URI="mongodb+srv://myusername:myactualpassword@cluster0.tay1m.mongodb.net/sample_airbnb?retryWrites=true&w=majority"

myApp.js:

require('dotenv').config();

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });

package.json:

Nevermind, I re-cloned the git and imported into glitch and somehow it works.
