How to connect to MongoDB in local network with express and mongoose

I'm setting up a server with express and mongoose and I'd like it to be usable in other machines present in my local network. The bind_ip variable has already been set to 0.0.0.0 in the Mongodb configuration file. 

const connection = mongoose
    .connect(
        "mongodb://192.168.254.104/db",
        {
            useNewUrlParser: true
        }
    )
    .then(() => console.log("Connected to MongoDB"))
    .catch(error => console.log(error));

I've tried connecting on my mobile phone but the server response says it didn't find the database.

First, you should run a MongoDB server on Local.

Default running port is: 27017

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/', {
    dbName: 'event_db',
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true 
}, err => err ? console.log(err) : console.log('Connected to database'));

Or you can do

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/event_db');

try this way : 

mongoose.Promise = Promise;
mongoose.set('useCreateIndex', true);
var mongooseOptions = {  useNewUrlParser: true }

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/MyDatabase', mongooseOptions, function(err) {
    if (err) {
        console.error('System could not connect to mongo server.')
        console.log(err)     
    } else {
        console.log('System connected to mongo server.')
    }
});

This is the format of mongodb connection String: 

mongodb://[username:password@]host1[:port1][,...hostN[:portN]]][/[database][?options]]

If you want to connect to a localhost database then the string would be like this: 

"mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb"

Where "mydb" is the DB name on your local machine.
