• DB Connection File:

• Here is the file responsible for connecting to the database:

---

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

const dbUrl =     
"mongodb+srv://username:password@harith.pl58u3c.mongodb.net/?           
retryWrites=true&w=majority";

const connectionParams = {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
}; 

mongoose
.connect(dbUrl, connectionParams)
.then(() => {
    console.info("Connected to the DB");
})
.catch((e) => {
    console.log("Error:", e);
});
