I am trying to add data in mongodb but getting error everytime i make a post request to api here i share the code
var MongoClient = require("mongodb").MongoClient;
var url =
"mongodb+srv://******:***********@cluster0-bxzzc.mongodb.net/auth?retryWrites=true&w=majority";
exports.addUser = async (req, res, next) => {
MongoClient.connect(url)
.then(function(db) {
// <- db as first argument
db.collection("user")
.insertOne({
name: req.body.name,
password:req.body.password
})
.then(result => {
res.send(result.ops[0]);
})
.catch(err => {
res.send("failure in db");
});
})
.catch(function(err) {
console.log(err);
res.send("error");
});
}
so whenever i am making a request i am getting error in console that
TypeError: db.collection is not a function
and also i am new to express so have i handled error correct like one catch for handling error if we get some error while adding data to mongodb and another outer catch if we have something wrong in our api
