MongoDB password with “@” in it

Question

I\'m trying to connect to a MongoDB database with a username and password using Mongoose in Node.js. All the docs say that the connection string should look like

<         


        

Answer 1

Use the options parameter of the mongoose.connect call to specify the password instead of including it in the URL string:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test',
                 {user: 'username', pass: 'p@ssword'},
                 callback);
