The options [useMongoClient] is not supported

I am using mongodb-3.6.0.

My express code is 

var promise = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/myapp', {
  useMongoClient: true
});

On running the app I am getting the options [useMongoClient] is not supported. My mongoose version in ^5.0.0-rc0.

Please help.

Solution

  • There is not much documentation about this yet as Mongoose 5 is in release candidate stage but with mongoose 5 you don't need to provide useMongoClient option. Mongoose 5 is using Mongo client by default. So just remove this option.
