How to get mongoDB database name from uri string

Question

I am using mongodb native driver:

"mongodb": "^2.2.33",

And trying to retrieve the name of the database from uri...

I tried something like this:

const Mongodb = require('mongodb')
let mongoUrl = new Mongodb.create(opts.mongo.url);
console.log(mongoUrl.databaseName);

But not working, any solution for this?

its part of the mongodb API

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient

MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/animals', function (err, db) {
  if (err) throw err
   console.log(db)
})

With "mongodb": "3.3.3" driver, you can use mongoClient.s.options.dbName

Ideally, should have a getter.
