not working with express

[ph98]

I tried this code but no luck

const agenda2 = new Agenda({
  db: { address: 'mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017', collection: 'agenda' },
});
router.use("/dash", Agendash(agenda2));

running standalone works like a charm npx agendash --db=mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017 --port=3002

Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'collection') at getOverview (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/lib/controllers/agendash.js:126:43) at api (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/lib/controllers/agendash.js:263:7) at /Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/lib/middlewares/express.js:30:33 at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5) at next (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/node_modules/express/lib/router/route.js:144:13) at Route.dispatch (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/node_modules/express/lib/router/route.js:114:3) at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5) at /Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:284:15 at Function.process_params (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:346:12) at next (/Users/parham/Desktop/apiserver/node_modules/agendash/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:280:10)

Hi, I was also having this error while I was trying to use agendash in nest

So, what I did was to call the middleware after agenda is ready, I think that in express should be like this

const agenda2 = new Agenda({
  db: { address: 'mongodb://root:example@localhost:27017', collection: 'agenda' },
});
router.use("/dash", () => {
    agenda2.on('ready', () => {
       Agendash(agenda2)
    };
});

This is how I did it in nest

@Injectable()
export class AgendashMiddleware implements NestMiddleware {
  constructor(
    private readonly configService: ConfigService,
  ) {}

  use(req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) {
    const Agenda = require('agenda');
    const Agendash = require('agendash');
    const agenda = new Agenda({
      db: {
        address: this.configService.get<string>(AppKeys.MongodbUri),
        collection: 'agenda',
      },
    });
    agenda.on('ready', () => {
      Agendash(agenda, { title: 'Agendash' })(req, res, next);
    });
  }
}

I second OP, this doesn't work.

The page will load the first time, but with no job details. At which point it'll throw the error described and then crash the server.
