save item in mongoose and monoDB - node.js

Question

I'm trying to connect to my mongoDB and to save a new user inside.
When I run the express server, the db is connected but the post request doesn't seem to happen.
Can someone check my code and help me find the problem?
**when I send the request on postmam, the postman ends up with: 'could not get response, error:socket hang up'.
I'm attaching my code below:
my server:
const express = require('express')
const app = express();
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const dotenv = require('dotenv')
const authRoute = require('./routes/aouth')
dotenv.config();
//conect to db
mongoose.connect(mongodb://localhost/users, { useUnifiedTopology: true, useNewUrlParser: true }, () => console.log("connected!"))
//middleware
app.use(express.json());
//route middleware
app.use('/api/user', authRoute);
app.listen(3000, () => console.log("listening on port 3000!"))
my User.js:
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
date: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now
}
})
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
my router (routes/aouth.js) :
router.post('/reg', async(req, res) => {
const user = new User({
password: req.body.password
})
try {
const savedUser = await user.save()
res.status(201).json(savedUser)
} catch (err) {
res.status(400).json({ message: err.message })
}
})
on postman my request is:
POST http://localhost:3000/api/user/reg
{
"password":"1234"
}
hope you guys can help me!!
Thank you!!

Answer 1

At a glance, I noticed that the path imported is wrong.
const authRoute = require('./routes/aouth')
Shouldn't it be?
const authRoute = require('./router/auth')
To be sure that you are connected to the database add the following lines.
const db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));

You have to add this code to your server.
app.use(express.urlencoded({extended: false}))
It will work.

Extending #Daryl Answer, #Shir: As you mentioned routes folder name is correct.
But you have a file named auth.js & in your server file, you are importing aouth.
Please verify, you have correct import filename specified in server file, Else this could be an import path issue.
