Connection to MongoDB via mongoose

Question

I am using Gulp building system. When I try to connect to my local MongoDB using mongoose I got error mongoose.connect is not a function .

Connection code:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');

Answer 1

Your code seems fine. Are you sure you correctly installed mongoose?

npm install --save mongoose

Answer 2

Your problem isn't that you're using mongoose directly in react ?

Mongoose is a node module: "elegant mongodb object modeling for node.js".
