How to set dns server in node.js resolve query?

I'm trying to set Google DNS server 8.8.8.8 in Node.js resolve query.

What is the correct way to do so? In command line usually we can do the following:

$ nslookup stackoverflow.com 8.8.8.8

Server:     8.8.8.8
Address:    8.8.8.8#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   stackoverflow.com
Address: 151.101.1.69
Address: 151.101.65.69
Address: 151.101.129.69
Address: 151.101.193.69

But its not quite clear how to make same approach in Node.js

require('dns').resolve('stackoverflow.com', function (err, addresses) {
  console.log(err, addresses);
});

// => null [ '151.101.1.69', '151.101.65.69', '151.101.129.69', '151.101.193.69' ]

From nodejs doc: https://nodejs.org/api/dns.html#dns_dns_setservers_servers 

dns.setServers([
   '4.4.4.4',
   '[2001:4860:4860::8888]',
]);
