Complete code to insert the txtfile in mongodb using gridfs in nodejs.This works well `

var mongoose=require("mongoose");
var gridfsstream=require("gridfs-stream");
var fs=require("fs");
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/testimage");
var conn=mongoose.connection;
gridfsstream.mongo=mongoose.mongo;
conn.once("open",function()
{
    console.log("database connected successfully");
    var gfs=gridfsstream(conn.db);
    var writestream=gfs.createWriteStream({
        filename:"danger.txt"
    });
    fs.createReadStream("sivakasi.txt").pipe(writestream);
    writestream.on("close",function(file)
    {
        console.log(file.filename +"stored successfully into mongodb using gridfs");
    });
    writestream.on("error",function(file)
    {
        console.log(file.filename +"not stored into mongodb using gridfs");
    });
});
conn.on("error",function()
{
    console.log("database not connected try again!!!");
});
