I'm trying to use mongoDB with the driver
I installed mongoDB in windows using this guide https://medium.com/@LondonAppBrewery/how-to-download-install-mongodb-on-windows-4ee4b3493514.
I created a new directory and an app.js. (following this guide https://docs.mongodb.com/drivers/node/master/fundamentals/connection/) In the app.js I pasted this:
const { MongoClient } = require("mongodb");
// Connection URI
const uri =
"mongodb+srv://sample-hostname:27017/?maxPoolSize=20&w=majority";
// Create a new MongoClient
const client = new MongoClient(uri);
async function run() {
try {
// Connect the client to the server
await client.connect();
// Establish and verify connection
await client.db("admin").command({ ping: 1 });
console.log("Connected successfully to server");
} finally {
// Ensures that the client will close when you finish/error
await client.close();
}
}
run().catch(console.dir);
The terminal printed this error:
C:\Users\Feder\Desktop\udemy\FruitProject\node_modules\mongodb-connection-string-url\lib\index.js:105
throw new MongoParseError('mongodb+srv URI cannot have port number');
^

don't use MongoDB URI in SRV format as it requires a hostname and a valid domain name. in your case, you are connecting with localhost which does haven't any domain name. instead of use
const { MongoClient } = require("mongodb");
// Connection URI
const uri =
"mongodb://sample-hostname:27017/?maxPoolSize=20&w=majority";
// Create a new MongoClient
const client = new MongoClient(uri);
async function run() {
try {
// Connect the client to the server
const connection = await client.connect();
if(connection){
console.log("server connected successfully");
}
// Establish and verify connection
// await client.db("admin").command({ ping: 1 });
// console.log("Connected successfully to server");
} finally {
// Ensures that the client will close when you finish/error
await client.close();
}
}
run().catch(console.dir);
