How can I connect to mysql from javascript using login path (mylogin.cnf)

I made a windows desktop application using electron. I connected my program to mysql. However, in order to connect to the database, I had to specify the account credentials such as username, password, host, port, and database name. I read through mysql official website concerning security, turns out it is more secure to store these credentials in an encrypted option file (mylogin.cnf). So, I actually did that using mysql_config_editor and created the file with the necessary credentials.

However, when I try to connect to the database from javascript using that file, it generates an error. Here is the code:

const mysql = require('mysql2');


const connection = mysql.createConnection({
  loginPath: 'mylogin.cnf'
});
function setupDatabase() {
    connection.connect((err) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error('Error connecting to database:', err);
            return;
        }
        console.log('Connected to the database');
    });
    // Additional database setup code...
};

it gave me this error:

Ignoring invalid configuration option passed to Connection: loginPath. This is currently a warning, but in future versions of MySQL2, an error will be thrown if you pass an invalid configuration option to a Connection
Error connecting to database: Error: Access denied for user ”@’localhost’ (using password: NO)

}

note: the function setupDatabase() is called when the program is started

I would really appreciate it if someone can help, thank you!
