Node js Mysql query execute - mysql

Question

I am using node.js to connect to Mysql database. I succeded in making the connection. However, several attempts to insert data have failed.
Can somoeone please look at the code of the js file executed in node ?
This is the js file to execute by node.js:
let mysql = require("mysql")
connection = mysql.createConnection({
host : 'localhost',
user : 'daniel',
password : '',
database : 'company',
});
connection.connect()
connection.query('INSERT INTO Employees (emp_no,emp_name,salary,reports_to) VALUES (1, "Manos", 1500, "Director")');
And this is the error I get:
node mysqlconnection3.js
/root/nodejs/mysqlconnection3.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { \// Read the docs at https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql.
