Mongoose Invalid Connection

Question

When I run my node.js code I get the error:

d:\Default Download\Ace Bot\Ace Bot\node_modules\mongodb\lib\core\uri_parser.js:585
    return callback(new MongoParseError('Invalid connection string'));
                    ^

I am new to mongoose and have no idea if this is a simple error, sorry if it is. Here is my code:

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose
  .connect(config.mongoose, {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useFindAndModify: false,
    useCreateIndex: true,
  })
  .then(console.log("MongoDB Conneted.."));

Instead of config.mongoose you will need to insert a URI here so that Mongoose can connect to MongoDB mongodb://localhost/[yourDbName].See more on this post

Dumb question but...how would I know my database name? (Not my code) – AceKiller250 Oct 16 '21 at 03:35
There is a lot of useful information here in the documentation: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/connections.html – Djre Oct 16 '21 at 03:37
If you're following a tutorial and using a website like MLab you could check the DB name that you set up there on the website or in a config folder that you set up for the Mongo URI like keys.js – Djre Oct 16 '21 at 03:43
@AceKiller250 did the 'MongoParseError: Invalid connection string' link & explanation I provided help you? If so, could you please accept my answer? – Djre Oct 18 '21 at 09:48
