NodeJS to Mongo DB Atlas not connecting-CodePudding

I'm new to NodeJS and am having difficulties connecting to Mongo DB atlas.

app.js

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
require("dotenv").config();

mongoose.connect(process.env.DATABASE, {
          useNewUrlParser: true,
          useUnifiedTopology: true,
          useCreateIndex:true,
}).then(() => {
          console.log("DB CONNECTED")
}).catch(() => {
          console.log("UNABLE TO CONNECT TO DB")
});

process.env

DATABASE = mongodb srv://<DATABASE_NAME>:<DATABASE_PASSWORD>@cluster0.mzive.mongodb.net/? 
retryWrites=true&w=majority

Edit: I did add the database name and password in the slots <DATABASE_NAME> and <DATABASE_PASSWORD> I just swapped it out for the post.

CodePudding user response：

You have to write your name, password, and database in the URL

eg, if your database name is krishna and password is dev, and database name is a store

then URL will be

mongodb srv://krishna:[email protected]/store? 
retryWrites=true&w=majority

you can find you username and password in from the mongo site.

CodePudding user response：

did you added database name that you wanted to be before question mark in the mongodb url

mongodb srv://<DATABASE_NAME>:<DATABASE_PASSWORD>@cluster0.mzive.mongodb.net/{right here}? 
retryWrites=true&w=majority
