2. Cause of error

In use Node.js When you operate mongodb database and want to insert data records into it, you write a JavaScript file and call the collection function. However, the old version of the method and the new version of the method are not this, but db() instead.

3. Solutions

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var DB_URL = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/student';

var writeData = function(db,callback){
	var dbo = db.db('t_sales');
	var data = {'name':'zhangsan','age':'30'};
	dbo.collection('t_sales').insertOne(data,function(error,result){
		if(error){
			console.log('error:'+error);
			return;
		};

		callback(result);
	});
}

MongoClient.connect(DB_URL,function(error,db){
	console.log('connect success!');
	writeData(db,function(result){
		console.log(result);
		db.close();
	});
});
