I am trying to connect MongoDB database with this code but when running it I get the error (see the error below after the code). The initial error was in the line where it was resolved by adding useNewUrlParser: true but even after this I still get more errors. I am using MongoDB version 4.0.1. Does anybody know how to resolve this error?

mongoose.connect('User://localhost:27017/User',{ useNewUrlParser: true })

Error while running this code:

(node:11068) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 3): MongoParseError: Invalid connection string (node:11068) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

Instead of User://localhost, use mongodb://localhost/ I had the same problem.
