Video #36: Connecting to MongoDB

[yousafa1]

Following along to the video tutorial, I'm having an issue connecting to the database. I'm not sure if this is because of mlab migrating over to mongodb?

@yousafa1, I guess that the mongoose got deprecated. This might be a cause. You need to add an extra parameter as it is shown bellow:
mongoose.connect('mongodb://tutorial_user:tutorial_password1@ds223063.mlab.com:23063/tutorial', {useNewUrlParser: true});

You may check the complete code here: https://github.com/LiviuSosu/ToDoList-TheNetNinja

I look up the code you have and followed it, put my user and password as well. I'm still receiving an error.

The message I receive in the console is:

(node:8049) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: true
(node:8049) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection. This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). (rejection id: 1)
(node:8049) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

WOW. I have a Mac and had to download brew for the error message to go away.

BUT, I'm having an issue connecting to port 27017. Do you know how to resolve this? I want whatever I add to the todo, to be saved into the database.

On my terminal, I write:
curl portquiz.net:27017
and I receive the message:
curl: (7) Failed to connect to portquiz.net port 27017: Operation timed out

@yousafa1 do you have MongoDB server installed on your mac?
If no, here's a link to install it locally on your Mac.
If yes, check the port number that the MongoDB server is running on your mac.
