Error: The database connection must be open to store files

Question

I am using mongodb atlas to store my data in cloud but i am unable to store it as i am getting the same error continuously Error:The database connection must be open to store files

My server side code


const mongoURI = 'mongodb+srv://caman3874:qwertyuiopaman1234@@amanco-pexfz.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority';



const conn = mongoose.createConnection(mongoURI,{useNewUrlParser:true});


let gfs;

conn.once('open', () => {
  gfs = Grid(conn.db, mongoose.mongo);
  gfs.collection('uploads');
  console.log("connection made successfully");
});


const storage = new GridFsStorage({
  url: mongoURI,
  file: (req, file) => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      crypto.randomBytes(16, (err, buf) => {
        if (err) {
          return reject(err);
        }
        const filename = buf.toString('hex') + path.extname(file.originalname);
        const fileInfo = {
          filename: filename,
          bucketName: 'uploads'
        };
        resolve(fileInfo);
      });
    });
  }
});
const upload = multer({ storage });

app.get('/',(req,res)=>{
  res.render('index');
 });


app.post('/upload', upload.single('file'), (req, res) => {
   res.json({ file: req.file }); 
});
const port = 5000;

app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Server started on port ${port}`));

Just create a promise and pass your mongoose instance with connection URI. you might need unifiedtopology as true as well. — Ashman Malik

const mongoURI = 'mongodb+srv://caman3874:qwertyuiopaman1234@@amanco-pexfz.mongodb.net/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority';

const promise = mongoose.connect(mongoURI, { useNewUrlParser: true });

const conn = mongoose.connection;
let gfs;

conn.once('open',() => {
  gfs = Grid(conn, mongoose.mongo);
  gfs.collection('uploads');
});

//create storage object
const storage = new GridFsStorage({
  db: promise,
  file: (req, file) => {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      crypto.randomBytes(16, (err, buf) => {
        if (err) {
          return reject(err);
        }
        const filename = buf.toString('hex') + path.extname(file.originalname);
        const fileInfo = {
          filename: filename,
          bucketName: 'uploads'
        };
        resolve(fileInfo);
      });
    });
  }
});
const upload = multer({ storage });

Hope this works!
