I’m trying to use promise to make error message to the console when Mongo connection doesn’t work. i get an error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘catch’) how can i fix it? it supposed to work like that. i can use try & catch block but i prefer to know how to use it this way and what is wrong
mongoose .connect(DB, { useNewUrlParser: true, useCreatIndex: true, useFindAndModify: false, }) .then(() => { console.log('DB conecttion successful') .catch(() => console.log('Error')); }); const port = 3000; app.listen(port, () => { console.log(`app runing on port ${port}`); });

Answer
catch
should be after then
not after console
.
console.log
will return undefined as it void
function, that why the error "Cannot read properties of undefined"
appear
mongoose .connect(DB, { useNewUrlParser: true, useCreatIndex: true, useFindAndModify: false, }) .then(() => { console.log('DB conecttion successful') }).catch(() => console.log('Error'));; const port = 3000; app.listen(port, () => { console.log(`app runing on port ${port}`); });
