ah! I think this means that the server cannot connect to a running instance of MongoDb 💡

// server.js
MongoClient.connect(
  mongoUrl,
  function(err, db) {
    var users = db.collection('users')

This issue can be fixed in this way,
if you have modified your MongoDB model you need to create a new collection. because in the previous collection there is not created any new field and you may be still referencing that one.
therefore this error TypeError: Cannot read property 'collection' of null
