6 years ago Issue with not setting up the database before trying to post... closing issue.
Hello,
I followed the tutorial to the T and went through and checked every character of my code / POST request. I am getting the below error in my nodemon console when I try to use postman to POST a new user. I'm at a loss as I'm VERY new to backend, and am assuming that there is something different about the password validation today vs. when the tutorial was created, however I'd like to understand and complete this project nevertheless.
Postman looks like:
"http://localhost:3000/users/register" "{ "name": "John Doe", "email": "johndoe@gmail.com", "username": "John", "password": "123456" };"

** I was getting this (below) error at first, but I went into mongo console and created the db "meanauth" and then the error changed to above. clearly I'm missing something integral. Any pointers would be appreciated.
