Please correct as follows

    {useNewUrlParser: true },function(err)=>{
    {
        if(err) {
            console.log('Some problem with the connection ' +err);

Answer 2

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/myapp', **{useNewUrlParser: true}**);

From official docs:

useNewUrlParser - The underlying MongoDB driver has deprecated their current connection string parser. Because this is a major change, they added the useNewUrlParser flag to allow users to fall back to the old parser if they find a bug in the new parser. You should set useNewUrlParser: true unless that prevents you from connecting. Note that if you specify useNewUrlParser: true, you must specify a port in your connection string, like mongodb://localhost:27017/dbname. The new url parser does not support connection strings that do not have a port, like mongodb://localhost/dbname.
