Trouble Connecting Local Server to MongoDB Despite Configuring Network Access

Working with Data Connectors & Integrations

#1

I am currently working on a project where I need to connect to a MongoDB instance from two different servers: one is a Heroku server and the other is my local development server.

I have successfully set up my Heroku server to connect and interact with MongoDB without any issues. However, I am having trouble establishing a similar connection from my local server.

I am unsure why this is happening as I’m not manually terminating the process and there doesn’t seem to be any unhandled exceptions causing the process to crash.

Has anyone faced a similar issue or have any insights on what could be causing this disconnection? Any help in troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

mongoose.set("strictQuery", true);

const isDev = process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production";
const dbURI = process.env.MONGODB_URI;

mongoose.connect(dbURI, {
  useNewUrlParser: true,
  useUnifiedTopology: true,
});

mongoose.connection.on("connected", () => {
  console.log("MongoDB connection established!");
});

mongoose.connection.on("error", (error) => {
  console.error(`MongoDB connection error: ${error}`);
  process.exit(-1);
});

//New Unhandled exceptions method
mongoose.connection.on("disconnected", (error) => {
  if (error) {
    console.error(`MongoDB connection disconnected: ${error}`);
    process.exit(-1);
  } else {
    console.log(error);
    process.exit(0);
  }
});

// Handle SIGINT event for graceful shutdown
process.on("SIGINT", (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
  connection.close(() => {
    console.log("MongoDB connection closed due to app termination");
    process.exit(0);
  });
});
