Deprecation Warning: collection.ensureIndex is deprecated in Node.js

In Node.js, the collection.ensureIndex method is deprecated and should be replaced with collection.createIndexes for creating indexes in MongoDB collections.

When running your code with the deprecated collection.ensureIndex method, a DeprecationWarning will be shown in the console. To find the exact location where this warning is triggered, you can use the node --trace-deprecation flag when executing your script.

Here's an example of how to create indexes using the collection.createIndexes method:

const MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;

// Connection URL
const url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';

// Database Name
const dbName = 'mydatabase';

// Create a new MongoClient
const client = new MongoClient(url, { useNewUrlParser: true });

// Connect to the server
client.connect((err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error('Failed to connect to the server:', err);
    return;
  }

  // Get the database object
  const db = client.db(dbName);

  // Get the collection
  const collection = db.collection('mycollection');

  // Define the index
  const index = { age: 1 };

  // Create the index
  collection.createIndexes(index, (error, result) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error('Failed to create index:', error);
      return;
    }

    console.log('Index created successfully:', result);
  });

  // Close the connection
  client.close();
});

Please note that this example assumes you have a MongoDB instance running on localhost with the default port 27017 and a database named mydatabase. Adjust the connection URL and database name accordingly based on your setup.

By migrating your code from collection.ensureIndex to collection.createIndexes, you can avoid the DeprecationWarning and ensure compatibility with future versions of Node.js and MongoDB.
