unable to connect nodejs to mongodb?

I want to connect my node js to mongodb. --> I am using mongodb version 6.5.0 (installed it as a service [complete install]) --> also I have installed mongosh (mongodb terminal) --> I am able to access and modify my database using mongosh terminal (all commands are working in terminal) --> In my project folder i first did "npm init", then "npm install node", then "npm install mongodb"(driver) & I am using nodeJS version 18.15.0 My code in "connect.js" file is as follows:

const {MongoClient} = require('mongodb');

const MONGO_URL = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';
const DB_NAME = 'tododb';

// ASYNC IIFE

(async () =>{

   const client = await MongoClient.connect(MONGO_URL)

   const tododb = client.db(DB_NAME)
   console.log(tododb)
   
})()

and I got this error when I do "node connect.js" in vs code terminal
