React Native - can't import mongoose on the front end(but it works from the backend)

Question

I cant import mongoose on the frontend but it worked on the backend.

I have a separate directory for the backend. I have some code to add a couple users to my database.

Answer 1

Just today I found out about Mongoose's browser module while trying to solve similar problems to you. It's a very limited version of Mongoose but will let you do validation against schemas, for example, on the front-end. Sorry I only found this 6 months after your post.

Answer 2

Mongoose's browser library doesn't support mongoose.connect(). It only supports schemas and document validation, it can't actually connect to MongoDB or save documents currently.
