I'm trying to connect to my MongoDB using Mongoose and it gives me the following error.

const { mongoose } = require('mongoose'); const db = 'dburl.com/db' mongoose.connect(db, { useNewUrlParser: true }) .then(() => console.log('MongoDB Connected')) .catch((err) => console.log(err));

I get this Error

mongoose.connect(db, { useNewUrlParser: true })
TypeError: Cannot read property 'connect' of undefined
No need to destructure the mongoose in 1st line. Replace your 1st line of code with the below code. It should be work.
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
Change { mongoose } with mongoose
Remove useNewUrlParser option. New version of Mongoose does not accept it as option and it will throw an error.
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const db = 'dburl.com/db'
mongoose.connect(db)
    .then(() => console.log('MongoDB Connected'))
    .catch((err) => console.log(err));
