mongo.isConnected alternative for node driver v4+

Question

Is there any alternative for the deprecated MongoClient.isConnected in the native Node JS MongoDB driver?

I read somewhere that one can handle the check via callbacks, which one can pass as parameters in the .connect Method (See the docs.) However, I wasn't able to successfully do that.

mongoClient has an event when connects to server. client.on('connected', ...) — Jone Polvora, Mar 26 '22 at 19:31
yes, in official docs you will find all events available (on connect, on disconnect, on error, etc) — Jone Polvora, Mar 28 '22 at 11:35

You can connect to MongoDB with the mongoose.connect() method.

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

Install Mongoose from the command line using npm:

$ npm install mongoose --save

Refer to my MongoDB + Node example:

For more details about Mongoose, please refer to official documentation:

The question is not asking how to connect to Mongodb. It is asking how to verify that a mongodb nodejs driver client instance is currently connected. – Brian Mar 29 '23 at 20:39
