Answer 1

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); 
    });

});
