mongoose.connect() - unable to pass argument

I am beginner in nodejs and mongodb. I am using this tutorial scotch.io to develop a restful api.
I got stuck at 'connect to our database'

mongoose.connect('mongodb://node:[email protected]:27017/Iganiq8o');

I have installed mongodb at - C:\mongodb
Data directory path - C:\Users\mshubham\Desktop\Main01\data\db
Project path (api) - C:\Users\mshubham\Desktop\Main01\testapi.js
Schema path - C:\Users\mshubham\Desktop\Main01\app\models

But I cannot get api request at localhost:8080/api/bears
Cannot GET /api/bears

I have tried all following combinations -

[UPDATE] -
testapi.js - http://pastebin.com/6xgqWsfu
bear.js - 

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema; 
var BearSchema = new Schema({
    name: String
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Bear',BearSchema);

The error Cannot GET /api/bears is not related mongodb connection, it means there is no get route for /api/bears, also I did not find this route in your codes posted in the link. Please add get() as bellow following the original link. 

router.route('/bears')

    // create a bear (accessed at POST http://localhost:8080/api/bears)
    .post(function(req, res) {

        ...

    })

    // get all the bears (accessed at GET http://localhost:8080/api/bears)
    .get(function(req, res) {
        Bear.find(function(err, bears) {
            if (err)
                res.send(err);

            res.json(bears);
        });
    });
