Question

I am using the mongoose module for my Express.js app, and I keep getting this error everytime I start up the app:

I cannot figure out how to set the write concern. I am connecting to my database like this:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/reader')

Answer 1

It was because of the connect-mongodb package. I changed it to connect-mongo and this fixed the problem!
