Discussion on: FullStack setup (Node.js, React.js and MongoDB)

There is nothing much to share as I just followed these steps haha

[Thiago Pacheco]

OMG really? haha

I just download the source code and tested it here. Everything works fine.
Could you try to clone the repo and test it just in case?

[Veronika H]

yeah so I forked your Github, and the proxy still isn't working. I seem to get a deprecation error

[Thiago Pacheco]

What you could try to do is to add the following line in your client/package.json file:
"proxy": "localhost:5000"

That should solve the problem.

[Veronika H]

I did try that as the other comment addressed it and it didn't seem to work.
the exact error I'm getting is this:

DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new parser, pass option { useNewUrlParser: true } to MongoClient.connect.
events.js:183
throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

Veronika,

Does the error persist once you modify the line:

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI || 'mongodb://localhost:27017/node-react-starter',{ useNewUrlParser: true });

as suggested by the Deprecation Warning?

What is the prompt error if so?

[Thiago Pacheco]

This deprecation warning should not prevent you from running the app, but the rpacheco suggestion should do the trick.

You can also add this config on another line, like so:

mongoose.set("useNewUrlParser", true);

You might also find other deprecation warnings in the future, follow a list below in case you need it.

mongoose.set("useFindAndModify", false);
mongoose.set("useCreateIndex", true);
mongoose.set("useUnifiedTopology", true);

Let me know if that worked for you.
