JavaScript User Authentication With Express and Mongo User Registration Storing Passwords Securely

Posted by S K

My app says it is connected to the default port and I switched to it in Mongo Shell but no users data listed where is it

I am trying to find out where my data is being saved and I can not see it on the cloud or in the mongo shell. When I do db.es-app.find() it states [js] ReferenceError: app is not defined : @(shell):1:1.

Please help.

Thanks

Hi SK,

I think we'll need a lot more information to help you debug this.

If you post the code that your app uses to connect to the DB and write data to a collection, as well as the commands you use in Mongo shell from connecting to db.es-app.find() it will be easier to help you debug.

When posting code be sure to enclose it in three backticks (`) with the language specified after the header backticks. This will make your code easier to read and thus easier to debug.

e.g.

```JS

displayNumbers = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('numbers')) for (let num of Object.values(displayNumbers)) { console.log(num) }

```

becomes

displayNumbers = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('numbers'))
for (let num of Object.values(displayNumbers)) 
{
    console.log(num)
}

Cheers,

Eric
