MongoDB throwing error Module not found: 'module'
mongodb, mongoose, webpack
Solution
This error is because you're trying to use `mongodb` from browser, as `create-react-app` is a front-end app. You should use a back-end server and use mongodb from there.
You can check out this this full-stack repo having a `nodejs` server with `create-react-app` front-end. https://github.com/fullstackreact/food-lookup-demo
Problem
I have a Mongo db setup on localhost:27017 and and trying to connect to it from my app that uses Webpack via Mongoose. I have Mongoose installed as a package. Here is my code: ``` import mongoose from 'mongoose'; var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/music-app'); mongoose.connection.once('connected', function() { console.log("Connected to database") }); ``` I'm pretty sure i've followed the documentation correctly but it's throwing the following compile error: ``` Error in ./~/mongoose/~/mongodb/~/mongodb-core/~/require_optional/~/resolve-from/index.js Module not found: 'module' in C:\Users\new\Desktop\Development Projects\music-app\node_modules\mongoose\node_modules\mongodb\node_modules\mongodb-core\node_modules\require_optional\node_modules\resolve-from ``` There is also another error in the console: ``` webpackHotDevClient.js:216 Error in ./~/mongoose/~/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js Module not found: 'dns' in C:\Users\new\Desktop\Development Projects\music-app\node_modules\mongoose\node_modules\mongodb\lib @ ./~/mongoose/~/mongodb/lib/mongo_client.js 12:10-24 ``` Anyone seen this before and know how to resolve it? Is there additional packages I might need to install in node?
