facing problem in connecting mongoDB using the mongoDB client

i am connecting mongodb using the mongodb client in my app.

'app.js' file.

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient

MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/animals', function (err, db) {
  if (err) throw err

//   db.collection('mammals').find().toArray(function (err, result) {
//     if (err) throw err

//     console.log(result)
//   })
})

the issue is: 

(node:16348) DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is 
deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new 
parser, pass option { useNewUrlParser: true } to MongoClient.connect.
/home/amarjeet/Desktop/node2/node_modules/mongodb/lib/operations/mongo_client_ops.js:474
      throw err;
       ^

MongoNetworkError: failed to connect to server [localhost:27017] on 
first connect [MongoNetworkError: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:27017]

    at emitErrorAndCloseNT (internal/streams/destroy.js:50:3)

You have to install MongoDB database server first in your system and start it.
if already installed:
check whether server is in start state. and Try connecting with mongo shell
and if server is also in start state:
than just put {useNewUrlParser: true } as mentioned by the @Vaghani Janak

just add {useNewUrlParser: true } in connection

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient

MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/animals', {useNewUrlParser: true }, function (err, db) {
  if (err) throw err
//   db.collection('mammals').find().toArray(function (err, result) {
//     if (err) throw err

//     console.log(result)
//   })
})
