// with mongodb lib
const mongodb = require('mongodb');

const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient;

let _db;
// you can replace test with any database name that you want
const mongoConnect = (cb) => {
  MongoClient.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/test')
    .then((client) => {
      _db = client.db();
      cb()

//after your server started you can use getDb to access mongo Database
const getDb = () => {
  if (_db) return _db;
  throw 'No database found';
}

exports.mongoConnect = mongoConnect;
exports.getDb = getDb;
