Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

const uri = 'your_mongodb_connection_string';
const client = new MongoClient(uri);

async function run() {
    try {
        await client.connect();
        console.log('Connected to MongoDB!');
    } finally {
        await client.close();
    }
}

run().catch(console.dir);
