Welcome, We'll show you how to write the connection code using Mongoose, call it in your server.js file, and check your local database for data. This step-by-step guide will boost your MERN stack skills and ensure a solid link between your backend and database. Let's build something great together!
utils / db.js
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const URI = "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/mern_admin_panel";
const connectDb = async () => {
try {
await mongoose.connect(URI);
console.log("connection successful to DB");
} catch (error) {
console.error("database connection fail");
process.exit(0);
}
};
module.exports = connectDb;server.js
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const router = require("./routes/auth-route");
const connectDb = require("./utils/db");
// Mount the Router: To use the router in your main Express app, you can "mount" it at a specific URL prefix
app.use("/api/auth", router);
const PORT = 5000;
connectDb().then(() => {
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`server is running at port: ${PORT}`);
});
});
