MongooseError: The uriparameter toopenUri()must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter tomongoose.connect()ormongoose.createConnection() is a string.
At line 15: await mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO_URI);

Hello,

There's a .env file which contains the MONGO_URI i used for this project. It is not publicly available because it is supposed to be kept secret.

To solve this problem, you'll have to either create a .env file and then add your own MONGO_URI. You can get it from your MongoDB Account.

If you need further help with this, please let me know.
