NodeJS MongoDB Connection string problems

Question

I'm new to using MongoDB and would appreciate some help in replicating the following command in my NodeJS application.

mongo --host dds-xxxx.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717 -u root -p password --authenticationDatabase admin

I need to be able to connect with these credentials from Node, preferably but not necessarily using the MongoJS library. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again.

You can use the following:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://username:password@host:port/database

In your case:

 mongoose.connect('mongodb://root:password@dds-xxxx.mongodb.rds.aliyuncs.com:3717/admin
