Mongoose

You can choose if you want to use mongoose in your project.

We recomend you to create an account on mlab, it is free; after that create a new database. To use it your project, you should paste the MongoDB URI (the one that you find after creating the database) in the files variables.env and variables.env.now into MONGO_URI, MONGO_PASSWORD, MONGO_USER

If you don't use authenticated mongodb e.g local mongodb then remove MONGO_USER and MONGO_PASSWORD from variable.env file.
