and the database.js
module.exports = {

'database': 'mongodb://localhost/firstapp'
};
module.exports.saveBook = function (db, title, author, text, callback) {
db.collection('text').save({
title: title,
author: author,
text: text
}, callback);
};
module.exports.findBookByTitle = function (db, title, callback) {
db.collection('text').findOne({
title: title
}, function (err, doc) {
if (err || !doc) callback(null);
else callback(doc.text);
});
};
What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

not sure if there are other issues with the code. but with the error ReferenceError: text is not defined, might the compiler be complaining that they cannot determine where text was declared in the following lines?
apiRoutes.get('/book/:title', function (req, res) {
...
if (!text) res.status(500).send("Server error");
...
apiRoutes.get('/resources/productinfo/:name' , function(req, res) {
...
if (!text) res.status(500).send("server error");
...
if that is the error, you might need to replace text with req.body.text
