I'm building a pretty straightforward tool that will POST the contents of a form to the MongoDB, and will later build a GET request to pull it back out. It started off as following a tutorial and has spun off when I started building a more robust front-end, but I have not been able to get this aspect of the back-end functional.
Below is my code, and you can clearly see mongoose is defined as a variable..
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');});
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/'));
var port = 3000;
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
global.Promise = mongoose.Promise
console.log(console.log(mongoose.connection.readyState));
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/formnote");
var nameSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
srNumber: String,
summary: String,
notePad: String,
var Notes = mongoose.model("Notes", nameSchema);
app.get("/", (req, res) => {
res.sendFile(__dirname + "/index.html");
app.post("/addnote", (req, res) => {
var myData = new Notes(req.body);
myData.save()
.then(item => {
res.send("Notes saved to database");
.catch(err => {
res.status(400).send("Unable to save to database");
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log("Server listening on port " + port);
Any help is greatly appreciated..

just a shot in the dark. But there are problems when using mongoose global promise
in new mongoose version that implementation you have used to connect to your database is obsolete and replaced with this implemenatation
so instead of these lines to connect to the database,
global.Promise = mongoose.Promise
console.log(console.log(mongoose.connection.readyState));
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/formnote");
use this and try
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/formnote',{useNewUrlParser:true})
.then(function(){
console.log('mongoDB connected');
.catch(function(){
console.log('Error :');
