Issues: MongoStore error

[erisha]

What's the problem you're trying to solve?

I'm getting an error message about my mongostore. Idk why. I tried changing the code around & reading documentation.

Post any code you think might be relevant (one fenced block per file)

require('dotenv').config()
const express = require('express')
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const morgan = require('morgan')
const methodOverride = require('method-override')
const profileRoutes = require('./routes/profile_routes')
const userRoutes = require('./routes/user_routes')
const commentRoutes = require('./routes/comment_routes')
const blogPostRoutes = require('./routes/blogPost_routes')

const app = require('liquid-express-views')(express())

app.use(morgan('tiny'))
app.use(methodOverride('_method'))
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
app.use(express.static('public'))
const session = require('express-session')
const MongoStore = require( 'connect-mongo' ).default

//set up sessions
app.use(
    session({
        secret: process.env.SECRET,
        store: MongoStore.create({
            mongoUrl: process.env.DATABASE_URI
        }),
        saveUninitialized: true,
        resave: false
    })
)

app.use('/blogPost', blogPostRoutes)
app.use('/users', userRoutes)
app.use('/comments', commentRoutes)
app.use('/profile', profileRoutes)
// localhost:3000/

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    //res.send('TechSpace Homepage')
    res.redirect('/techSpace')
})

const PORT = process.env.PORT

app.listen( PORT, ()=> {
    console.log(`Listening to TechSpace ${PORT}`)
})

If you see an error message, post it here. If you don't, what unexpected behavior are you seeing?

What is your best guess as to the source of the problem?

Idk.

What things have you already tried to solve the problem?

Google, reading documentation & changing the code around. that didn't work I changed it back

change this line:

const MongoStore = require( 'connect-mongo' ).default

to this:

const MongoStore = require( 'connect-mongo' )

and let me know if that clears up the error

[erisha]

no. It's not working. That is the code I started off with. this is the error message now:

node server.js Assertion failed: You must provide either mongoUrl|clientPromise|client in options /Users/erisha/sei_icepops/projects/Project2-TechSpace/TechSpace-project2/node_modules/connect-mongo/build/main/lib/MongoStore.js:119 throw new Error('Cannot init client.

connection.js

require('dotenv').config()

const mongoose = require('mongoose')

const DATABASE_URI = process.env.DATABASE_URI
const config = {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true
}

mongoose.connect(DATABASE_URI, config)

mongoose.connection

    .on('open', () => console.log('Connected to Mongoose'))

    .on('close', () => console.log('Disconnected from Mongoose'))

    .on('error', err => console.error(err))

module.exports = mongoose

change this:

DATABASE_URI:'mongodb://localhost/techSpace'

to this

DATABASE_URI = 'mongodb://localhost/techSpace'
