Invalid shorthand property initializer error connecting to Mongo DB Atlas - express

Question

I want to connect my project to Mongo DB Atlas. It shows the following error while connecting the Database:
me :~/Desktop/prod$ npm run server
> #0.1.0 server /home/me/Desktop/
> nodemon server.js
[nodemon] 2.0.4 [nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs` [nodemon] watching path(s): *.* [nodemon] watching extensions:

mongoURI = "mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>#cluster0-ttxhq.mongodb.net/test"

My code is :
const express = require("express")
const mongoose = require("mongoose")
const bodyParser = require("body-parser")
const app = express()
app.use(bodyParser.json())
const db = require("./config/keys").mongoURI
mongoose
.connect(db, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useCreateIndex : true,
useUnifiedTopology : true
})
.then(()=>console.log("Database Connected"))
.catch(err => console.log(err))
const port = process.env.PORT || 5000
app.listen(port, ()=> console.log(`Server Starter on port ${port}`))
keys.js file is:*
modules.exports = {
mongoURI = "MONGODBURI"
}

Answer 1

Try:
modules.exports = {
mongoURI: "MONGODBURI"
}
This is a JSON so we cannot use '=' here.

Answer 2

have you tried IP whitelisting yourAtlas MongoDB cluster?
