Access mongo db from shell which is created using node application

Question

Hi I am new to node and mongo DB development. I created one simple node application. I am using mongoDB. I have initialise mondo db and able to insert some data. In my app.js I added DB connection like as follow:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const mongoDB = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';
mongoose.connect(mongoDB);
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
const db = mongoose.connection;

My schema class looks like

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

let UserSchema = new Schema({
    // publisherId: {type: String, required: true},
    userName: {type: String, required: true},
    age: {type: Number, required: true}
},{timestamps: true });


// Export the model
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

now I want to access same data from command line so I tried to connect my database.

mongo mongodb://localhost:27017

It connect with this db without any error. When I try to access the data it does not show any data.I check which all databases are available. it shows default test database.

The database is missing from your connection string.

Try something like:

const connect = async () => {
  await mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/my-database')
}

I guess mongoose is using default as a default when the connection string does not specify any database to use.
