Still trying to connect a string to the database

[westonllldan]

Continuing the discussion from freeCodeCamp Challenge Guide: Install and Set Up Mongoose:

@camperbot

mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds<PORT>.mlab.com:<PORT>/<DATABASE-NAME>

which you copy from MongoDB Atlas. Remember to remove the angle brackets < > when you replace your username and password of your database. Make sure to surround the entire url in single quotes.

Hints

"dependencies": {

@camperbot

mongodb://<dbuser>:<dbpassword>@ds<PORT>.mlab.com:<PORT>/<DATABASE-NAME>

mlab is now atlas, i’d say perhaps do look into other hints from there or “atlas docs”
