Cannot insert document MongoDB database

I am not able to insert data into MongoDB database using insert method in Nodejs.

var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/learnyoumongo';
var mongo = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
mongo.connect(url, function(err, db) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // db gives access to the database
  const myDb = db.db('learnyoumongo');
  var docs = myDb.collection('docs');
  var obj = {firstName: process.argv[2], lastName: process.argv[3]};
  docs.insert(obj, function(err, res){
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log('data inserted');
  })
  db.close();
}

There is no output coming and connection to the data base is successful but no insertion of data is happening.

You can use the following code to insert data into MongoDB using nodejs. 

var mongo = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var url = "mongodb://localhost:27017/learnyoumongo";

mongo.connect(url, function(err, db) {
if (err) throw err;
//access to the database
var myobj = { firstname: "Jhon", lastname: "Mackey" };
db.collection("docs").insertOne(myobj, function(err, res) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("Data inserted");
db.close();
 });
});

Try this will work for you .

var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/learnyoumongo';
var mongo = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
mongo.connect(url, function(err, dbobj) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // db gives access to the database
 // const myDb = dbobj.db('learnyoumongo').collection('docs');
 // var docs = myDb.collection('docs');
  var obj = {firstName: process.argv[2], lastName: process.argv[3]};
  dbobj.db('learnyoumongo').collection('docs').insert(obj, function(err, res){
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log('data inserted');
    dbobj.close();
  })

})

I figured out what the problem is. Seems like I forgot to add a parenthesis in the end:

var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/learnyoumongo';
var mongo = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
mongo.connect(url, function(err, db) {
  if (err) throw err;
  // db gives access to the database
  const myDb = db.db('learnyoumongo');
  var docs = myDb.collection('docs');
  var obj = {firstName: process.argv[2], lastName: process.argv[3]};
  docs.insert(obj, function(err, res){
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log('data inserted');
  })
  db.close();
})
