How to check if a database exists with mongoose.cr

问题:

I want to create multiple connections using mongoose. Therefore, I've chosen to use mongoose.createConnection() instead of mongoose.connect().

When I connect on my localhost, I want to check if the database that I'm connecting to exists.

My connection to a non-existing database:
let db = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://localhost/nonexistentdb');

Nevertheless, the events still give the the following results:

db.on('open', function() {
    console.log("Opened"); // <= logged
});

db.on('connected', function () {  
    console.log('Connected'); // <= logged 
});

db.on('error', (err) => {
    console.log("Unable to connect to database"); // <= not logged
});

Note: It does log the error event on a non-existing database when using mongoose.connect().

How do I check for database existence using mongoose.createConnection()?
