MongoServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED localhost:27017

[deflexable]

i install npm i start mongodb server (on macos using brew services start mongodb-community) i started the server with node server i visited http://localhost:4321/ i viewed a collection - it loads correctly the first time but when i try viewing another collection, it keeps spinning and after spinning for a while it shows a toast saying MongoServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED and displayed a box and text below it saying This collection doesn't have any documents

below shows the error logged on the server:

MongoServerSelectionError: connect ECONNREFUSED localhost:27017

after almost a day of debgging, i was able to fix it by:

1. updating mongodb to "^6.5.0"
2. changing from line 57 all the way to line 66 to this

       proms.push(dataAccessAdapter.ConnectToDb(
         dbName
       ).command({ collStats: collection.name })
         .then((stats) => {
           collection.stats = {
             count: stats.count,
             size: stats.totalSize
           };
         }));

i have up-to 75 collections in a database.

executing db.collection.stats() simultaneously at Promise.all for this amount of collections causes mongodb to crash and exit

changing to db.command({ collStats: collection.name }) fixes it

although this issue doesn't occur if you have 0 - 50 collections

db.collection.stats() has also been deprecated and removed
