Install dotenv package and replace the explictly mentioned database host path with process.env.MONGODB_URI

[tusharkhatriofficial]

• Install dotenv package using npm i dotenv
• Create a new file .env and add MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017/blogDB or your local/remote equivalent
• Replace mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/blogDB", {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true}); with mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI, {useNewUrlParser: true, useUnifiedTopology: true}); in app.js
• Do not forget to add .env to .gitignore file.

Hey! @tusharkhatriofficial can you assign me this task as a part of hacktoberfest

[tusharkhatriofficial]

Hi @Ujjawal3 yes I will!

Please hold your pull request until the event starts... the main idea of this is to add the dotenv package in the package.json and replace the explicitly mentioned MongoDB URI in the app.js file. I will also come up with a few more issues before the event starts, you can check them out as well.
