Piggy backing on @MikkaS answer for Mongo Client v3.x, I just needed the async / await format, which looks slightly modified as this:
const myFunc = async () => {
// Prepping here...
// Connect
let client = await MongoClient.connect('mongodb://localhost');
let db = await client.db();
// Run the query
let cursor = await db.collection('customers').find({});
// Do whatever you want on the result.
}
