Unable to connect with MongoDb using nodeJS

Question

I am creating MERN stack app I am trying to connect my app with MongoDb database.I am using Mongoose library to connect with `MongoDb.I am getting error below:

Error

TypeError: callback is not a function ['server] at $initialConnection.$initialConnection.then (H:\React projects\MyBlog\node_modules\mongoose\lib\connection.js:744:13) ['server] at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)

Here is my code below:

server.js

const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const cors = require('cors');

const app = express();
app.use(cors());

app.use(require('./routes/saveData.js'));

const port = process.env.PORT || 5000;

app.listen(port,() => {

   console.log(`Server is running on ${port}.`);
});

saveData.js

const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const blogs = require('../models/blogPost');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

router.use(bodyParser.json());
router.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: true}));

const dburl = 'mongodb+srv://example:[email protected]/ExpDb?retryWrites=true'

router.post('/save',(req,res) => {

   const data = {

       title: req.body.title,
       detail: req.body.detail
     }

     const newBlog = new blogs(data);

    mongoose.connect(dburl, {useNewUrlParser: true,useUnifiedTopology:true}).then((resp) =>{

          resp.send("Connected");          
          console.log("connected");
        }).catch((err) => { 
            console.log("database error: ",err);
        });

  });

module.exports = router;

Below is mongoose schema: blogPost.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

const BlogPostSchema = new Schema({

  title:String,
  body:String,
  date:{
      type:String,
      dafault:Date.now()
    }
});

const BlogPost = mongoose.model('BlogPost',BlogPostSchema);

module.exports = BlogPost;

Someone please let me know what I am doing wrong.Any help would be appreciated.

THANKS

Mongoose returned promise value is resp. Server response object which is having .send method is res. Try below :

router.post('/save', (req, res) => {
...
    mongoose.connect(dburl, {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology:true}).then((resp) =>{         
        // res not resp
        res.send("Connected");          
        console.log("connected");
    })

Documentation Reference

Syntax from the documentation,

mongoose.connect(uri, options).then(
  () => { /** ready to use. The `mongoose.connect()` promise resolves to mongoose instance. */ },
  err => { /** handle initial connection error */ }
);

Code

router.post('/save',(req,res) => {

    mongoose.connect(dburl, {useNewUrlParser: true,useUnifiedTopology:true})
      .then(() =>{        
              res.send("Connected");          
              console.log("connected");
            },
           (err)=> console.log("database error: ",err);)        
      });
}

mongoose connect doesn't have a callback

mongoose.connect(dburl, {useNewUrlParser: true},{useUnifiedTopology:true});

this should work. And then to update you should use the mongoose save method on the model object.

BlogPost.save();
