TypeError: db.collection is not a function

  • 4

I am trying to post data to database that I have created on mLab and I am getting this error but I don’t know whats going wrong.I also have read previously asked question on this topic but I am not able to solve my error as I am new to this. So here I am posting the code which I am trying to implement and It is taken from this tutorial https://medium.freecodecamp.com/building-a-simple-node-js-api-in-under-30-minutes-a07ea9e390d2.

server.js

const express = require('express');
const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

const db = require('./config/db');


const app = express();

const port = 8000;

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extened:true}));


MongoClient.connect(db.url,(err,database) =>{

    if (err) return console.log(err)
    require('./app/routes')(app,{});
    app.listen(port,() => {
        console.log("We are live on"+port); 
    });

})

db.js

module.exports = {
  url : "mongodb://JayTanna:[email protected]:47510/testing"
};

index.js

const noteroutes = require('./note_routes');

module.exports = function(app,db)
{
    noteroutes(app,db);

};

note_routes.js

module.exports = function(app, db) {
  app.post('/notes', (req, res) => {
    const note = { text: req.body.body, title: req.body.title };
    db.collection('notes').insert(note, (err, result) => {
      if (err) { 
        res.send({ 'error': 'An error has occurred' }); 
      } else {
        res.send(result.ops[0]);
      }
    });
  });
};

      In your server.js, you are passing empty object where you need to pass database as second argument as its what your routes/index.js export function expects.

      PFB updated server.js :

      const express = require('express');
      const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
      const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
      
      const db = require('./config/db');
      
      const app = express();
      
      const port = 8000;
      
      app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended:true}));
      
      MongoClient.connect(db.url,(err,database) =>{
      
          if (err) return console.log(err)
          //require('./app/routes')(app,{});
          //check below line changed
           require('./app/routes')(app, database);
          app.listen(port,() => {
              console.log("We are live on"+port); 
          });
      
      });
