// instead of this
const url = "mongodb://localhost:27017";
// Just Replace
const url = "mongodb://0.0.0.0:27017";
// Try using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in connection url
// mongodb://localhost:27017
// mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017').then(() => {

})

This happened probably because the MongoDB service isn't started. Follow the below steps to start it:
Go to Control Panel and click on Administrative Tools.
Double click on Services. A new window opens up.
Search MongoDB.exe. Right click on it and select Start.
The server will start. Now execute npm start again and the code might work this time.
Check if you've installed mongoDB by running "mongod" in your terminal
