call a docker container by it name - node.js

Question

I would like to know if it's possible to use my docker container name as host instead of the IP.
Let me explain, here's my docker-compose file :
version : "3"
services:
pandacola-logger:
build: ./
networks:
- logger_db
volumes:
- "./:/app"
ports:
- 8060:8060
- 10060:10060
command: npm run dev
logger-mysql:
image: mysql
networks:
- logger_db
command: --default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password
environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: Carotte1988-
MYSQL_DATABASE: logger
MYSQL_USER: logger-user
MYSQL_PASSWORD: PandaCola-
ports:
- 3306:3306
adminer:
networks:
- logger_db
image: adminer
restart: always
ports:
- 8090:8090
networks:
logger_db: {}
Sorry the intentation is a bit messy
I would like to set the name of my logger-mysql in a the .env file of my webservice (the pandacola-logger) instead of his IP adress
here's the .env file
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8060
NODE_ENV=development
APP_NAME=AdonisJs
APP_URL=http://${HOST}:${PORT}
CACHE_VIEWS=false
APP_KEY=Qs1GxZrmQf18YZ9V42FWUUnnxLfPetca
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=0.0.0.0 <---- here's where I want to use my container's name
DB_PORT=3306
DB_USER=logger-user
DB_PASSWORD=PandaCola-
DB_DATABASE=logger
HASH_DRIVER=bcrypt
If you can tell me first, if it's possible, and then, how to do it, it would be lovely.

By default Compose sets up a single network for your app. Each container for a service joins the default network and is both reachable by other containers on that network, and discoverable by them at a hostname identical to the container name.
Reference
For Example:
version: '2.2'
services:
redis:
image: redis
container_name: cache
expose:
- 6379
app:
build: ./
volumes:
- ./:/var/www/app
ports:
- 7731:80
environment:
- REDIS_URL=redis://cache
- NODE_ENV=development
- PORT=80
command:
sh -c 'npm i && node server.js'
networks:
default:
external:
name: "tools"
