Alternative to Sails Mongo Adapter to support MongoDB 5.0 & 6.0?

Question

Any alternatives to sails-mongo adapter? According to Sails-Mongo Compatibility, sails-mongo only supports up to MongoDB 4.2.

Current issue I face is the below:

error: Sending 500 ("Server Error") response: 
MongoError: Unsupported OP_QUERY command: find. The client driver may require an upgrade. For 
more details see https://dochub.mongodb.org/core/legacy-opcode-removal

My package.json versions are

"sails-mongo":"^1.2.0",
"mongodb":"^5.2.0",
"connect-mongo":"^5.0.0",
"engines":{
  "node":"14.x",
}

Here's what i get when i run npm list mongodb

├─┬ connect-mongo@5.0.0
│ └── mongodb@5.2.0 deduped
├── mongodb@5.2.0
└─┬ sails-mongo@2.0.1
  └── mongodb@3.7.3

On sails.js you need to use different libs to support newer versions of mongodb driver. There is an issue about it. As sails-mongo is not being updated, and won't work with mongodb 6.0.

I created a repo with the full solution: https://github.com/Goostavo/sails-mongodb-6

I'm using the following packages and files.

I'm also using configs for both standard host mongodb and serverless mongodb cluster on Atlas. When running on ATLAS i need to have some extra configuration, on datasets i use the config/env/ folders, and for sessions i made a crazy if/else loop to make the right connection string.

The configurations are set on a .env file or using ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.

    "connect-mongodb-session": "^3.1.1",
    "sails-mongo-cloud": "^3.0.1",

File datastores.js:

/**
 * Datastores
 * (sails.config.datastores)
 */

let cfg = {
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 27017,
  database: process.env.MONGO_DATABASE || 'localDB'
};


module.exports.datastores = {

  default: {
    adapter: require('sails-mongo-cloud'),
    url: 'mongodb://' + cfg.host + ':' + cfg.port + '/' + cfg.database,
    socketTimeoutMS: 360000
  },

};

The session.js file:

/**
 * Session Configuration
 * (sails.config.session)
 *
 * Use the settings below to configure session integration in your app.
 * (for additional recommended settings, see `config/env/production.js`)
 *
 * For all available options, see:
 * https://sailsjs.com/config/session
 */

const cfg = {
  host: process.env.MONGO_HOST || 'localhost',
  port: process.env.MONGO_PORT || 27017,
  database: process.env.MONGO_DATABASE || 'localDB',
  user: process.env.MONGO_USER,
  password: process.env.MONGO_PWD,
  useatlas: process.env.USE_ATLAS
};

let url;
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' && cfg.useatlas) {
  url = 'mongodb+srv://' + cfg.user + ':' + cfg.password + '@' + cfg.host + '/' + cfg.database + '?retryWrites=true&w=majority';
} else if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'){
  url = 'mongodb://' + cfg.user + ':' + cfg.password + '@' + cfg.host + '/' + cfg.database + '?retryWrites=true';
} else {
  if (!cfg.user) {
    url = 'mongodb://' + cfg.host + '/' + cfg.database + '?retryWrites=true';
  } else {
    url = 'mongodb://' + cfg.user + ':' + cfg.password + '@' + cfg.host + '/' + cfg.database + '?retryWrites=true';
  }
}

module.exports.session = {
