Issue
i am trying to connect to mongoDB on Node with express
MongoClient.connect(process.env.HOTELS_DB, {useNewUrlParser = false})
I getting the fallowing error
file:///C:/Users/admin/Desktop/fs/mern-stack/index.js:11
MongoClient.connect(process.env.HOTELS_DB, {useNewUrlParser = true})
SyntaxError: Invalid shorthand property initializer
What am i doing wrong here
Solution
You’re using = in the place of : you need to use colon in JavaScript object like key: value https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Object_initializer
MongoClient.connect(process.env.HOTELS_DB, {useNewUrlParser : false})
