Problem with using the .save() in MongoDB

Question

When i wanna save a user with this code:

const router = require("express").Router();
const User = require("../model/User");

//validate
const joi = require("@hapi/joi");

const schema = joi.object({
  name: joi.string().min(1).max(255).required(),
  email: joi.string().max(255).email().required(),
  password: joi.string().min(8).max(255).required(),
});

router.post("/register", async (request, respond) => {
  const { error } = schema.validate(request.body);
  if (error) return respond.status(400).send(error.details[0].message);
  const user = new User({
    name: request.body.name,
    email: request.body.email,
    password: request.body.password,
  });
  try {
    const savedUser = await user.save();
    respond.send(savedUser);
  } catch (err) {
    respond.status(500).send(err);
  }
});

module.exports = router;

it doesnt get any error but it also does not respond anything and does not save anything

I don't see any client connection in your code. Don't forget to connect to your mongoDB server and open your connection before processing any operation. Otherwise it won't have any effect.

var db = new Db('test', new Server('localhost', 27017));
// Establish connection to db
db.open((err, db) => {
   // Do what you want
});
