Is there any alternative for the deprecated MongoClient.isConnected in the native Node JS MongoDB driver?
I read somewhere that one can handle the check via callbacks, which one can pass as parameters in the .connect Method (See the docs.) However, I wasn't able to successfully do that.
You can connect to MongoDB with the mongoose.connect() method.
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp');
Install Mongoose from the command line using npm:
$ npm install mongoose --save
Refer to my MongoDB + Node example:

For more details about Mongoose, please refer to official documentation:
