Stuck in loading with mongoose

Question

I am trying to create a web-application with node.js, mongoose and MongoDB,
I am trying to load the web-page localhost:8800/api/auth/register which is stuck at loading since past 15 minutes.

VS Code Terminal return the following :

(node:2908) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: MongooseError: Operation `users.insertOne()` buffering timed out after 10000ms

My Scripts are as following :

1. Index.js :

   const application = express();
   const mongoose = require("mongoose");
   const dotenv = require("dotenv");
   const helmet = require("helmet");
   const morgan = require("morgan");
   const userRoute = require("./routes/users");
   const authRoute = require("./routes/auth");
   
   dotenv.config();
   
   mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URL, {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true}, () => {
       console.log("connected to MongoDB")
   });
   
   // middleware 
   application.use(express.json());
   application.use(helmet());
   application.use(morgan("common"));
   
   application.use("/api/users", userRoute);
   application.use("/api/auth", authRoute);
   
   application.listen(8800, () => {
       console.log("backend server is running!")
   })
   
   

2. Auth.js :

   const User = require("../models/User");
   
   // REGISTER
   router.get("/register", async (req, res) => {
       const user = await new User ({
           username: "john",
           useremail: "john@gmail.com",
           userpswrd: "123456"
       })
   
       await user.save();
       res.send("oK")
   });
   
   module.exports = router
   
   

I am also using .env for MONGO VIA URL CONNECTION Sorry for the bad writing apologies in advance also I am new to this so pls correct me! I know i have done a lot of mistakes, Thanks for u're sincere time dedication and sympathy

First of all, you must make sure that you are connecting to the database without any error.
To do this, start listening on connect's callback function:

try {
  // This configuration is better
  mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URL, {
    useUnifiedTopology: true,
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useCreateIndex: true,
    useFindAndModify: false,
  }, err => {
    if (err) throw Error(err.message);

    console.log("connected to MongoDB");
    application.listen(8800, () => console.log("backend server is running!"));
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.log(error);
}

I think you should make this operation in a try-catch statement like this:

// REGISTER
router.get("/register", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    // Create user in database
    const user = await User.create({
      username: "john",
      useremail: "john@gmail.com",
      userpswrd: "123456"
    });
    
    res.status(200).json({ success: true });
  } catch (error) {
    res.status(500).json({ error });
    console.log(error);
  }

});

module.exports = router;

Then you can see error's details, and server keeps running.
If you can't solve the problem just add a comment here I'll be back ASAP

Answer 2

check your router or wifi if you are using to run mongoose try with your mobile internet
