## Description
<section id='description'>
In this challenge, you will import the required projects, and connect to your Atlas database.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Add `mongodb` and `mongoose` to the projects `package.json`. Then, require mongoose as `mongoose` in `myApp.js`. Store your MongoDB Atlas database URI in a 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:
```js
mongoose.connect(<Your URI>, { useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true });
```
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
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); })
