The node is crashing when I access the express URL. I am using a MEAN stack with grunt-nodemon
Browser console response:
http://localhost:8000/api/users net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Terminal output:
Mongoose: users.insert({ firstname: 'mike', lastname: 'jones', email:'mike@gmail.com', role: 'admin', password: 'mike', _id: ObjectId("57485c16fc11894b96c28057"), created: new Date("Fri, 27 May 2016 14:39:18 GMT"), __v: 0 })
user.save success
node crash
[nodemon] app crashed - waiting for file changes before starting...
In this case, the POST request went through, the user was added, then node crashed, but sometimes it crashes before a successful POST. Node also occasionally crashes on the GET request.

Angular controller function:
$scope.addUser = function(){
var user = {
firstname: $scope.firstname,
lastname: $scope.lastname,
email: $scope.email,
role: $scope.role.selected,
password: $scope.password
};
$http.post('/api/userAdd', user ).then(function successCallback(response) {
$location.path('/users');
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log('error addding user');
console.log(response);
});
};
Express route:
User = require('../models/user.js');
module.exports = function (app) {
app.get('/api/users', function (req, res) {
User.find({}, function (err, users) {
if ( err ) {
res.send({
message : 'error finding users',
success: false
});
} else {
res.json(users);
}
});
});
app.get('/api/users', function (req, res) {
User.find({fields: {}}, function (err, docs) {
res.json(docs);
});
});
app.post('/api/userAdd', function (req, res) {
var user = new User(req.body);
user.save( function( err, user ){
if (err){
console.log('user.save error');
console.log(err);
res.send({
success: false
});
} else {
console.log('user.save success');
res.send({
success: true
});
}
});
});
};
Can someone help me with this?
