Need some assistance

[MDoughlin]

I am setting up the backend and I am running into the issue where I am not getting the message "connection to database established" but I am not getting an error either.

I have double checked my code and everything looks good

My Db.js

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const connectDB = async () => {
  return mongoose
    .connect("mongodb://localhost/contact_mern")
    .then(() => console.log(`conection to database established ...`))
    .catch((error) => console.log(error));
};

module.exports = connectDB;

My app.js

const express = require('express');
const morgan = require('morgan');

const connectDB = require('./config/db');

const app = express();

//middleware
app.use(express.json());
app.use(morgan("tiny"));

//routes
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
  res.send("Hello World");
});

//server config
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8000;
app.listen(PORT, async () => {
  await connectDB;
  console.log(`server listening on port ${PORT}`);
});

I also typed mongod into my terminal and the mongodb server didn't start

You missed to call the function

It should be await connectDB();

I do have await connectDB above where I am configuring the server

You missed the paranthesis ();
