mm-mongoose-connection

The mm-mongoose-connection module follow best practice for creating, maintaining and using a mongoose connection like:

• open the connection when the app process start
• start the app server after the database connection is open (optional)
• monitor the connection events (connected, open, error and disconnected)
• close the connection when the app process terminates

Installation

$ npm install mm-mongoose-connection --save

Configuration

The mm-mongoose-connection module accept two arguments config and callback. The config objects must contains dbURI and dbOptions properties as you can see in usages below (see full list of dbOptions properties here). The callback argument is optional and it's up to you if you want to start app the server after mongodb connection is open.

Hint: It's good practice to start app server after database connection is open.

Usage

var app = require('express')();
var mongodb = require('mm-mongoose-connection');

var config = {
  dbURI: 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/connectionDemo',
  dbOptions: {user: '', pass: ''}
}
// start up the mongodb
mongodb(config, function startServer() {
    // start up the server
    app.listen(3000, function () {
        console.info('app started on port: 3000');
    });
});

Hint: See real app usage here.
