Mongo DB Loader

Reads the process.env.dbs variable and loads the mongo type databases into the global webhandle object.

The normal way to use this is to add the db info to the server.config.js file used with pm2 like:

module.exports = {
    apps: [{
            name: 'app name',
            script: './web-server.js',
            "env": {
                PORT: 3000,
                dbs: [
                    {
                        "type": "mongodb",
                        "dbName": "test1",
                        "url": "mongodb://localhost:27017/",
                        "collectionNames": [ "first", "second", "third"]
                    }
                    ,{
                        "type": "mongodb",
                        "dbName": "test2",
                        "url": "mongodb://localhost:27017/",
                        "collectionNames": [ "blue", "red", "green"],
                        "name": "test-2"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    ]
}

It will populate the webhandle.dbs object with a object for each entry in the list. Each object will have the propertes:

• client: the connection to the mongo server instance
• db: the object which represents the named databases
• collections: an object where there is one collection object with the collection name as the key
• dbName: the mongo database name
• name: the user provided name/label/app-unique-name provided. This is the dbName if no attribute is specified in the definition
