Syntax
mongodb.connect(path[, callback])
Parameters
•path – The server path where the MongoDB server is actually running along with its port.

Installing Mongo-DB
Before proceeding to try connect your application with Nodejs, we need to setup our MongoDB server first.
Use the following query to install mongoDB from npm.
npm install mongodb –save
Run the following command to set up your mongoDB on the specific localhost server. This will help in creating connection with the MongoDB.
mongod --dbpath=data --bind_ip 127.0.0.1
Create a MongodbConnect.js and copy-paste the following code snippet into that file.
Now, run the following command to run the code snippet.
node MongodbConnect.js
Example
// Calling the required MongoDB module.
const MongoClient = require("mongodb");
// Server path
const url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/';
// Name of the database
const dbname = "Employee";
MongoClient.connect(url, (err,client)=>{
if(!err) {
console.log("successful connection with the server");
}
else
console.log("Error in the connectivity");
})Output
C:\Users\tutorialsPoint\> node MongodbConnect.js
