var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var db = require('mongoskin').db("mongodb://localhost:27017/testdb", { w: 0});
db.bind('event');
var app = express();
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use(express.bodyParser());
app.get('/init', function(req, res){
if (err) throw err;
console.log('before object');
db.event.insert({

start_date: new Date(2017,5,1),
end_date: new Date(2017,5,5)

res.send("Test events were added to the database");
console.log('events inserted?')
});
app.get('/data', function(req, res){
db.event.find().toArray(function(err, data){
//set id property for all records
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
// console.log('in for loop');
data[i].id = data[i]._id;

res.send(data);
console.log('data sent');
});
});
app.listen(3000);
console.log('listening on port 3000');At the start I am running the Mongo Server, with the app’s own server. And I checked the mongo shell and found that the database exists. So the main issue is I can display data in my calendar only if I create it in the Mongo Shell, but I can’t insert the data through my server file.
I found that out from viewing the data from the shell on the calendar and from testing with console.log. It looks like my server isn’t even entering the “app.get(’/init’)” route and of course isn’t hitting the callback after. However, it is hitting my app.get(’/data’) route and displaying that data on the calendar.
I’m not sure where I’m getting it wrong, I checked the tutorial and I checked the MongoDB docs, and I haven’t found what what I’m missing. Any help would be appreciated.
