N/AIt appears that it is possible to connect to MongoDB on local, but it may be blocked by your local network or IP. It is recommended to check the credentials and variables tab to ensure that the connection is set up correctly.

yep, use the environment variables railway provides (https://docs.railway.app/databases/mongodb#connect) in your code, run railway shell to get a shell that has all your projects variables set for you, then you can start your app the same way you normally would
can you join A voice chat ?
no
on my version i use it like that
const dbUrl =
mongodb://${Config.get("databaseHost")}:${Config.get("databasePort")}/${Config.get("databaseName")};
but now
const dbUrl = mongodb://${Config.get("databaseUser")}:${Config.get("databasePass")}@${Config.get("databaseHost")}:${Config.get("databasePort")};
so every time i put ${Config.get("databaseName")} i got an errorjavascript?
yes
for JavaScript you use process.env.ENV_VARIABLE so for example to get the host for the railway mongodb you would use process.env.MONGOHOST
that is not my point
thanks for you
but im asking how i can connect to databasename direct
im saying dont use that Config.get function, just get the environment variable
yes, and i gave you the answer
i know im asking a lot sorry for that
thank you
you are over complicating the connection process
so i dont need to use database name while im connect
i got that point and i will use env
thanks for your help
try connection with the injected enviroment variables and report back if that works π always good to follow up

test DatabaseOkay connection works, that's great

how i can connect to my database
Where is "your" database hosted?

That screenshot of the mongodb Uri would connect to the database in the project

I'm not familiar with mongodb, it sounds like a cop out answer but I'm sure this an easily googleable question, "how to set default database mongodb nodejs"
ok thank you
