The issue is due to the DNS resolution for the mongodb+srv:// URI scheme failing. See querySrv errors when connecting to MongoDB Atlas | ALEX BEVILACQUA for more info on this topic.

I am a beginner ,so can you help me and tell how can I fix this?

If you select version “2.2.12 or later” from the Atlas Connect UI it will give you the legacy connection string.

Then just copy/paste that into your application and replace the existing mongodb+srv:// version.

I had a similar problem. The sample uri that their website generates, does not do percent encoding for special characters such as @ or '. So just copy pasting that in my js script was not working. When I did that manually, it worked.
