Unable to connect to cpanel's phpmyadmin database with node.js - mysql

Question

I'm starting to experiment and explore node.js for a project which involves using tables. So far i've created a MySQL user and database within cpanel and have granted the user full access to the database. I've read the documentation for the npm mysql , but am unable to establish a connection, have tried adding socket path but still does not work, any help would be appreciated.
Node.js
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var mysql = require('mysql');
var con= mysql.createConnection({
connectionLimit : 100,
host : 'localhost',
port : 3306,
user : '*******',
password : '*******',
database : '*******',
});
con.query('SELECT * FROM users', function(err, results) {
if(err){
console.log('Query error: ', err);
return;
}
console.log(results);
});
Error Message
Query error: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306

there are some great packages, you must try theme first. there are some packages that support all db server language like sql, mysql2, mongodb, postgres etc.
