Actually the problem was with authentication of db. The mongo I'm using requires admin authentication before querying or trying any command to process data. I inserted code to authenticate db and got access to db.admin() function of mongodb.

By the way thanx to @arcyqwerty and @Amadan for your support.

From the console you can simply run show dbs

If you need the output in a Javascript object, try db.adminCommand('listDatabases')

MongoDB is a serverside technology. JavaScript (unless you're using Node.js, in which case you should have tagged it) is a client-side technology. Might as well shout for someone in Japan to cook you dinner - too far. You would need to ask a server-side component to ask MongoDB for you and pass you the results.
