Mongodb connection failed in local with node version 18.12.0?

Question

I am seeing one issue with node version 18.12.0 and mongodb 6.0.2. I already build a nestjs application with mongodb. Here I use @nestjs/mongoose(v- 9.0.2) and mongoose (v-6.7.0)

Here I can see that when I upgrade node js to latest lts version then I am not able to connect to mongodb. It show an error like unable to connect to database.

But When I downgrade to node version 16.18.0 then it working fine. My question is that you guys already face this issue or I am only person getting this issue. If you know that then actually where is the problem occurred?

Here is my connection code-

MongooseModule.forRoot("mongodb://localhost:27017/nekmart", {
      connectionFactory: (connection) => {
        connection.plugin(slug, { number: true });
        return connection
      }
}),

Had same problem after upgrading to NodeJs 18.12.1; followed other blogs/comments and apparently

changing the Uri from mongodb://localhost:27017/test_db to mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test_db works.

Without getting into the specifics reasons it appears that localhost is rejected due to some changes in NodeJS.
