When I'm trying to add an item to my database I get the following error on the terminal:
const serverSelectionError = new ServerSelectionError();

[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...
I have MongoDB Atlas and mongoshell installed and running but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.
This is how I setup express and mongoose, I tried to change the url in mongoose.connect but it doesn't seem to work
const express = require('express')
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const articleRouter = require('./routes/articles')
const app = express()
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/blog', {useNewUrlParser: true})
app.set('view engine', 'ejs')
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }))
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
const articles = [{
title: 'Test title',
createdAt: new Date(),
description: 'Test description'
}]
res.render('articles/index', { articles: articles })
})
app.use('/articles', articleRouter)
app.listen(5000)
Any ideas about how to fix this? Thanks!
