Description

Add mongodb and mongoose to the project’s package.json. Then require mongoose. Store your MongoDB Atlas database URI in the private .env file as MONGO_URI. Surround the the URI with single or double quotes and make sure no space exists between both the variable and the `=` and the value and `=`. Connect to the database using the following syntax:

mongoose.connect(<Your URI>, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true }); 

Tests

tests:
  - text: '"mongodb" dependency should be in package.json'
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/file/package.json'').then(data => { var packJson = JSON.parse(data);     assert.property(packJson.dependencies, ''mongodb''); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
  - text: '"mongoose" dependency should be in package.json'
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/file/package.json'').then(data => { var packJson = JSON.parse(data);     assert.property(packJson.dependencies, ''mongoose''); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
  - text: '"mongoose" should be connected to a database'
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/is-mongoose-ok'').then(data => {assert.isTrue(data.isMongooseOk, ''mongoose is not connected'')}, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
