I cannot connect to mysql database using node.js - mysql

Question

I am total beginner to database.
I am using localhost(127.0.0.1) with port 9090.
I successfully created mysql database, ran/used it in windows 10 command prompt and MySQL Workbench.
But when I try to run it with node.js, I fail to connect to server.
Below is index.js file I tried to run in windows command line.
var mysql = require('mysql');
var client = mysql.createConnection({
user:'root',
password:'password',
});
client.query('USE mydb');
client.query('SELECT * FROM PRODUCTS',function(error, result, fields){
if(error){
console.log(error);
} else{
console.log(result);
}
});
And it results in this error.

}
I am at the stage not knowing what I am not knowing.
I tried to change port in createConnection() function like this
var client = mysql.createConnection({
user:'root',
password:'password',
port: '9090'
});
Then I get this error.

Answer 1

1.Open your windows terminal and login :
mysql -uroot -p
( then type you password )
use mysql;
update user set authentication_string=password(''), plugin='mysql_native_password' where user='root';
4 Restart you mysql db : sudo service mysql restart

Answer 2

Doing this in MySQL Workbench solved the problem.
ALTER USER 'root'#'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password
BY 'YourRootPassword';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
