atlas .find returning empty array while local mongodb works fine

no errors console logs []

const mongoose = require('mongoose'); 

const uri = "mongodb+srv://:@cluster0.yhy4bwu.mongodb.net/?retryWrites=true&w=majority";

const playerSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    fullname: String,
    goals: Number,
    assists: Number, 
    gamesPlayed: String,
    shots: Number, 
    positionCode: String, 
    plusminus: String, 
    team: String, 
    timeOnIcePerGame: Number, 
    espnId: Number
})


mongoose.connect(uri)
    .then(async ()=>{
        model = mongoose.model('PlayersV3', playerSchema, 'PlayersV3')

        const doc = await model.find({fullname : {$regex :  new RegExp('a', "i")}}).limit(15).sort({goals: -1});
        console.log(doc)
    }).catch((error)=>{
        console.log(error)
    });

const local_uri = "mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/nhl" the localhost uri works

I have made sure that I have not misspelled my PlayersV3 collection

anything that would point me in the right direction helps

const uri = "mongodb+srv://:@cluster0.yhy4bwu.mongodb.net/Databasename?retryWrites=true&w=majority";

fixed it by adding in the database name as one of the query parameters

try using this one uri
assuming that your db name is "nhl" and also add you atlas username and password in uri.

syntax:

"mongodb+srv://<atlas username>:<password>@cluster0.yhy4bwu.mongodb.net/<database name>?retryWrites=true&w=majority";

example:

 const uri = "mongodb+srv://<atlas username>:<password>@cluster0.yhy4bwu.mongodb.net/nhl?retryWrites=true&w=majority";
