Mongoose/MongoDB won't connect from Node.js - node.js

Question

So i'm new to MongoDB/Mongoose, I am following many different tutorials online about how to connect my node.js server to mongodb using mongoose, however none of them seem to mention the issue i'm having. I have mongo server running on my machine, I can manipulate it find from the command line, but when connecting from node i run into a few problems. Mainly, its that It still says waiting for connections on Port 27017 but the connection is never made, the db I define in mongoose is never created, but also, I don't get any errors.
I do get some deprecation warnings regarding both body-parser and URL string parser. Not sure what to do about that. But also, i'm trying to log either a connection confirmation or an error if it can't connect. Instead it just logs a monster mongoose(?) object. See below
body-parser deprecated bodyParser: use individual json/urlencoded middlewares server.js:15:9 body-parser deprecated undefined extended: provide extended option node_modules\body-parser\index.js:105:29 (node:12152) 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. connected to [object Promise] + NativeConnection { base: Mongoose { connections: [ [Circular] ], models: { users: [Function] }, modelSchemas: { users: [Schema] }, options: { pluralization: true }, _pluralize: [Function: pluralize], Schema: { [Function: Schema] reserved: [Object], Types: [Object], ObjectId: [Function] }, model: [Function], plugins: [ [Array], [Array], [Array], [Array] ] }, collections: { users: NativeCollection { collection: [Collection], opts: [Object], name: 'users', collectionName: 'users', conn: [Circular], queue: [], buffer: false, emitter: [EventEmitter] } }, models: { users: { [Function: model] hooks: [Kareem], base: [Mongoose], modelName: 'users', model: [Function: model], db: [Circular], discriminators: undefined, events: [EventEmitter], '$appliedMethods': true, '$appliedHooks': true, _middleware: [Kareem], schema: [Schema], collection: [NativeCollection], Query: [Function], '$__insertMany': [Function], '$init': [Promise], '$caught': true, [Symbol(mongoose#Model)]: true } }, config: { autoIndex: true }, replica: false, options: null, otherDbs: [], relatedDbs: {}, states: [Object: null prototype] { '0': 'disconnected', '1': 'connected', '2': 'connecting', '3': 'disconnecting', '99': 'uninitialized', disconnected: 0, connected: 1, connecting: 2, disconnecting: 3, uninitialized: 99 }, _readyState: 1, _closeCalled: false, _hasOpened: true, '$internalEmitter': EventEmitter { _events: [Object: null prototype] { dropDatabase: [Function] }, _eventsCount: 1, _maxListeners: 0 }, _listening: false, _connectionOptions: { promiseLibrary: [Function: Promise], useNewUrlParser: false }, name: 'financeDB', host: 'localhost', port: 27017, user: undefined, pass: undefined, client: MongoClient { _events: [Object: null prototype] { left: [Function] }, _eventsCount: 1, _maxListeners: undefined, s: { url: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/financeDB', options: [Object], promiseLibrary: [Function: Promise], dbCache: [Object], sessions: [] }, topology: Server { _events: [Object], _eventsCount: 26, _maxListeners: Infinity, clientInfo: [Object], s: [Object] } }, '$initialConnection': Promise { <pending> }, db: Db { _events: [Object: null prototype] { reconnect: [Function], close: [Function], timeout: [Function] }, _eventsCount: 3, _maxListeners: undefined, s: { databaseName: 'financeDB', dbCache: {}, children: [], topology: [Server], options: [Object], logger: [Logger], bson: BSON {}, readPreference: [ReadPreference], bufferMaxEntries: -1, parentDb: null, pkFactory: undefined, nativeParser: undefined, promiseLibrary: [Function: Promise], noListener: false, readConcern: undefined }, serverConfig: [Getter], bufferMaxEntries: [Getter], databaseName: [Getter] } }
So why is this printing and what am I doing wrong re connection? Here is my server.js:
const express = require('express'),
path = require('path'),
bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
cors = require('cors'),
mongoose = require('mongoose');
config = require('.DB');
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;
mongoose.connect(config.DB, { useNewUrlParser: true}).then(
()=> {console.log('Database is connected')},
err=>{console.log('Can not connect to the database' + err)}
);
const app = express();
let port = process.env.PORT || 4000;
const server = app.listen(function(){
console.log('Listening on port ' + port);
});
and my DB.js is just the uri
module.exports = {
DB: 'mongodb://localhost:27017/ng7crud'
};
