When i am trying to run this code i am getting the following error

Question

I am trying to connect mongodb database by this code but when running this code I get the error(error at the bottom of the code). One of the error was in the 7th line where it was resolved by adding { useNewUrlParser: true } but still it has more errors. I am using MongoDB version 4.0.1. Do anybody know how to resolve this error.

const express = require('express');     
const mongoose = require('mongoose');  
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');   
const app = express();

app.use(express.static('public'));  
app.set('view engine','ejs');

mongoose.connect('mongod://localhost/students', { useNewUrlParser: true });  
var studentSchema = new mongoose.Schema({  
    name: String,  
    age:Number,  
    country:String  
});

var Student = mongoose.model("Student", studentSchema);  
var shashank = new Student({  
    name:"Shashank",  
    age:"21",  
    country:"India"  
});    

shashank.save((err,student) => {    
    if(err){     
        console.log('Something went wrong!');     
    }    
    else {      
        console.log("You added: " + student);      
    }      
});      

app.listen(3000,() => {     
    console.log('Server Listening!');     
});

Error while running this code!

Solution

mongoose.connect('mongod://localhost/students', { useNewUrlParser: true }); 

It should start with mongodb://..., And When you use { useNewUrlParser: true } you should always specify the port number in connection string mongoose reference like given below.

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/students', { useNewUrlParser: true });

here port number 27017 is the default port for MongoDB database.
