如何使用 nodejs 在 docker-compose 上的 mongoDB 上设置身份验证？

Question

I want to setup basic authentication while connecting to the mongoDB database using my nodejs application.

Looked at the documentation for mongo image by specifying

environment:
    - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=admin
    - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=pass

But this does not seem to work, when I use the connection string in nodejs (mongoose) as

mongodb://admin:pass@mongo:27017/myDatabase

I would just like to setup basic authentication to prevent any ransomware attacks like this :

MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME and MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD are used to setup superuser account to manage overall databases.
You can connect as admin permission using this connection string mongodb://<MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME>:<MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD>@mongo:27017 and create a database myDatabase , after that you also have to create user with a role to allow query database.

For example

> use myDatabase
> db.createUser({user: "user", pwd: "user", roles:["dbOwner"]})

Then you can connect with this string

mongodb://user:user@mongo:27017/myDatabase
