MongoDB password with "@" in it

Question

I'm trying to connect to a MongoDB database with a username and password using Mongoose in Node.js. All the docs say that the connection string should look like mongodb://username:password@host:port/db However, the password contains the '@' character in it. How can I make a connection string out of this that mongoose will understand? Can I escape the '@' in the password or is there another method of connecting I have to use?

Use this syntax: // use %40 for @ mongoClient.connect("mongodb://username:p%40ssword@host:port/dbname?authSource=admin", { useNewUrlParser: true }, function(err, db) { } );
