Create a Custom URL Shortener using Node.JS and MongoDB

TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'redirectURL') , Anyone please help how to resolve it.

Interesting video, nice explanation Thanks

FOR THOSE WHO ARE STUCK AT entry.redirect not defined, try
entry["redirectURL"].... idk why but it works and that dont bruh.

Path is required like error can be solved by defining default:shortid() , in shortId: Schema

shortId: {
type:String,
unique: true,
default: shortid(),
required: true,
},

Help Please,
Cannot GET /analytics/0AOgMEv

make a video on mongodb module in Nodejs

Code is not working

Got the solution for typeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'redirectURL') . You should add {shortid:shortId} as a json as 1st parameter in findOneAndUpdate() method instead of only {shortId} . Then it should work.

Thank you for your great efforts! Really really awesome video.

For those its not working because shortid has been depretiated. and if you still want to use it then install it by "npm i [email protected]". hopefully it would work.
