TypeError: db.collection is not a function

Question

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 o

Answer 1

MongoClient.connect(db.url,(err,database) =>{
    if (err) return console.log(err)
    //require('./app/routes')(app,{});
    //try this 
     require('./app/routes')(app,database);
    app.listen(port,() => {
        console.log("We are live on"+port); 
    });
})

here you have to include the database in the empty {}.

or

you can also try installing mongodb to latest which will solve the issue.

npm install mongodb@2.2.33 --save 

else npm install add dependency of "mongodb": "^2.2.33" in node modules.
