or mongoose.createConnection is a string

The uri parameter to openUri must be a string-got undefined Make sure the first parameter to mongoose.connect <br>
 mongoose.createConnection is a string
after seen this type of error i want to fix why this is happen cause i am 100% confident that there is no any coding issues and i have written well organize code. so i try to find out the problem after few times i got what i did and what is my mistake and then i solve the issue and i decide to share this solution with all of you the internet people.
