Question 297816 in Mongodb Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Mongodb – Why is this Node.js code not logging anything on the console?

const mongodb = require('mongodb')
const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient

const connectionURL = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017'
const databaseName = 'task-manager'

MongoClient.connect(connectionURL, (error, client) => {
    if (error) {
        return console.log('Unable to connect to database.')
    }

    console.log('Connection successful.')
})

I’m not getting any errors but still nothing gets printed to the console.

I’m trying to connect to the mongodb server.

    1. Try getting rid of the return in the if statement.

    2. Try using alert() instead of console.log, that’s what I always use for JS.

    I hope this helps!

    Try the following code snippet:

    const mongodb = require('mongodb')
const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient

const connectionURL = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017'
const databaseName = 'task-manager'
const collectionName = 'tasks'

const client = new MongoClient(connectionURL);

async function main() {
    client.connect()  
    console.log(client)
}

main()
    .then(console.log)
    .catch(console.error)
    .finally(() => client.close());

    Also, refer to the get started guide: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/node/current/quick-start/connect-to-mongodb/
