Node.js App Error: MongooseError: The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a string, got "undefined"

I have a Next.js app. I have an error with Mongodb. I couldn't solve this problem for a while. That's why I wanted ask you guys. I hope we can solve it. It's very important for me. Firstly I'll give you my server.js codes, after that I'll give you the error message from console.

Server.js file codes:

const express = require('express')
const next = require('next')
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
require('dotenv/config')
const dev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production'

const app = next({ dev })
const handle = app.getRequestHandler()
const port = process.env.SERVER_PORT || 3000

mongoose.connect(process.env.DATABASE,{
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
})
.then(() => {
  console.log('DB connected!')

  const port = process.env.PORT || 3000

  app.prepare().then(()=>{
    const server = express()
  
    //ROUTES
    server.use(express.json())
    server.get('*', (req, res) => handle(req, res))
  
    server.listen(port, (err) => {
      if(err) throw err
      console.log(`Server listen on http://127.0.0.1:${port}`)
    })
  
  })

})
.catch((err) => {
  console.log('DB ERROR:', err)
})

Error message on console:

DB ERROR: MongooseError: The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to `mongoose.connect()` or `mongoose.createConnection()` is a string.

I have the link of Mongodb in my env file. Maybe the error causes because of this situation?

DATABASE=mongodb+srv://myusername:[email protected]/mydbusername?retryWrites=true&w=majority

You should put your login credentials to your mongodb url code like this:

DATABASE=mongodb+srv://admin:[email protected]/<dbusername>?retryWrites=true&w=majority

If you did already try to give the path to dotenv:

require('dotenv').config({ path: 'ENV_FILENAME' });
