Issue Connecting to MongoDB collections - mongodb

Question

I am using axios and express.js API to connect to my mongo DB. I have a .get() request that works for one collection and doesn't work for any other collection. This currently will connect to the database and can access one of the collections called users. I have another collection setup under the same database called tasks, I have both users and tasks setup the same way and being used the same way in the code. The users can connect to the DB (get, post) and the tasks fails to connect to the collection when calling the get or the post functions. When viewing the .get() API request in the browser it just hangs and never returns anything or finishes the request.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
The project is on GitHub under SCRUM-150.

Answer 1

Are you setting any access controls in the code?
Also refer to mongoDB's documentation here:
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/collection-level-access-control/

Answer 2

Here is my solution:
In your app.js, have this:
let mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('Your/Database/Url', {
keepAlive : true,
reconnectTries: 2,
useMongoClient: true
});
In your route have this:
let mongoose = require('mongoose');
let db = mongoose.connection;
fetchAndSendDatabase('yourCollectionName', db);
function fetchAndSendDatabase(dbName, db) {
db.collection(dbName).find({}).toArray(function(err, result) {
if( err ) {
console.log("couldn't get database items. " + err);
}
else {
console.log('Database received successfully');
}
});
}
