"mongoose": "^5.13.7"
and then deleted node_modules and ran command npm install to reinstall node_modules with old version and then my code ran
EDIT:As i said its temporary solution i figured out permanent solution by some googling its actually with the new version of mongoose need new version of nodejs so you just need to update node js and npm to make it work and its permanent solution dont just downgrade and use it was temporary from mongoose version 5.13.7 to latest version they have fixed some vulnerabilities so i suggest the best thing is to just update node js and npm and use the latest mongoose version.
Here you go! Try to add this line at starting in your encoding.js file
let { TextEncoder, TextDecoder } = require("util");
Method-2 Better You update your npm and Nodejs
