I'm new to programming, I'm trying to follow a web developemnt course when connecting to database I created I get the error "mongodb.connect is not a function".
I try to connect to the database using the following code.
let mongodb = require('mongodb');
let db
let connectionString = '';
mongodb.connect(connectionString,{useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology:
true},function(err, client){
db = client.db();
You can connect to the database from the client (which uses MongoClient from the library).
const { MongoClient } = require('mongodb');
let db;
const connectionString = 'mongodb://' // Change this to your uri
const client = new MongoClient(connectionString)
Then you can connect
await client.connect();
db = client.db();
Try this:
const { MongoClient } = require("mongodb");
let databaseName = '';
let connectionString = '';
MongoClient.connect(connectionString, {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true}, (error, client) => {
if (error)
return console.log("Connection failed for some reason");
const db = client.db(databaseName);
});
