Mongodb

Orka uses mongoose.

It will connect to mongodb automatically if a connection url is given.

eg:

MONGODB_URL={url} node app.js

Usage

//config/config.js

module.exports = {
  mongodb: {
    url: 'mongodb://localhost/orka' // to be used in development
  }
};

//app/models/model.js
const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const Model = new Schema(
  {
    key: { type: String, unique: true },
    ...
  },
  {
    timestamps: {}
  }
);

module.exports = mongoose.model('Model', Model);

You use mongoose as you would without worrying about connection initilization.
