## Description
<section id='description'>
Add mongodb and mongoose to the projects package.json. Then require mongoose. Store your MongoDB Atlas database URI in the private <code>.env</code> 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 });
```
