How to connect to MongoDB Atlas in NodeJS

I am trying to log some hit counts for this blog. For that, I am trying to understand and use MongoDB Atlas (with a free plan of course ^_^).

For that, I just followed their plan to connect to MongoDB which as follows:

js


const { MongoClient, ServerApiVersion } = require('mongodb');


const uri = "mongodb+srv://<user>:<password>@ashokma.jngua.mongodb.net/<database>?retryWrites=true&w=majority";


const client = new MongoClient(uri, {
	useNewUrlParser: true,
	useUnifiedTopology: true,
	serverApi: ServerApiVersion.v1
});


client.connect(err => {
	const collection = client.db("test").collection("devices");
	// perform actions on the collection object
	client.close();
});

This same can be used as a NodeJS server endpoint.
