I am new in Node.js ,, I will start working in a project that was implemented years ago .. using Node.js, mongodb and angular 4.
i checked the file package.json for the mongdb and i had found this value
"mongodb": "^2.1.21"
I want to upgrade the application to use the latest version of mongodb , so i had run this command
npm i mongodb@latest
but it gave me an error that the upgrade to the latest version which is 3.3.0-beta2 is invalid.
So I changed the command to
npm i mongodb@2.2.36
Now I don't how to make it accept to update to the latest stable version of mongodb. What are the changes that i need to do to my code to make sure it runs successfully?
Regarding the mongo db server, do I need to install the latest version to make my application run successfully after upgrading the mongodb node package ..?
I did many investigations and couldn't reach to clear answer regarding this.
For your question, run
npm i --save mongodb@latest
to install and update the dependency in package.json.
