MongoDB sets my database to 'test' automatically. How to change it?

Question

mongoose.connect(process.env.DATABASE_URL, {useNewUrlParser: true});
const MyModel = mongoose.model(mymodel, new Schema({ name: String }));

This creates a database named 'test' and a collection named 'mymodel'. How to change the 'test' name of my database?

Answer 1

If you are posting data on remote mongoDB server, make sure you write Database name in connection url before "?retryWrites". There may be written as 'test' or nothing. If 'test' is there replace it with your database name, if not write database name just before '?' mark.

mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster0.vbaw8.mongodb.net/<database_name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority
