***
**Note:** With the introduction of mongoose > 5.x this library becomes obsolete as the handling of connections has been greatly improved in mongoose > 5.x.
[Read here](http://thecodebarbarian.com/whats-new-in-mongoose-5-improved-connections.html) for a good summary of the changes/improvements introduced.
Therefore this library will not be updated for mongoose > 5.x.

## Install
Install with [npm](http://npmjs.org/)
```sh
$ npm install mongoose-connection-promise
```
Install with [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com)
```sh
$ yarn add mongoose-connection-promise
```
## Motivation
Although mongoose does not force you to wait until a mongoose connection has been created, the author of this module prefers to not start with any application before we know that a connection has been established successfully.
_mongoose-connection-promise_ helps connecting and disonnecting to MongoDB in mongoose reliably.
## Usage
### Use mongoose-connection-promise in express.js
Connect mongoose to a MongoDB instance using the default settings:
```js
const express = require('express');
const MongooseConnection = require('mongoose-connection-promise');
const app = express();
// Initialize using the default settings, which is assuming MongoDB to run
// at mongodb://localhost:27017
const mongooseConnection = new MongooseConnection();
console.log(mongooseConnection.config.host); // Returns localhost
console.log(mongooseConnection.config.port): // Returns 27017
mongooseConnection.connect()
.then(connection => {
app.db = connection;
const port = 3003;
app.listen(port, err => {
if (err) {
console.log('Could not start express server');
} else {
console.log(`Express server started at port ${port}`);
}
});
})
.catch(err => {
console.log('Error creating a mongoose connection', err);
});
```
Pass in options:
```js
const MongooseConnection = require('mongoose-connection-promise');
const opts = {
username: 'foo',
password: 'bar',
host: 'mongo.local',
port: 27018,
debug: true
};
const mongooseConnection = new MongooseConnection(opts);
mongooseConnection.connect()
.then(connection => {
// successfully connected
})
.catch(err => {
// an error occurred
});
```
## API
### [Configuration](lib/index.js#L81)
Define a configuration object to pass to the constructor.
If no options are defined, the default options will be used:
See [index.js => defaultOpts](index.js) for more information about the current default options.
**Params**
* `opts` **{Object}**: Options to pass in.
* `opts.debug` **{Boolean}**: Whether MongoDB runs in debug mode or not.
* `opts.host` **{String}**: The MongoDBhost, defaults to `localhost`. See the mongodb [connection string spec](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/) for more details.
* `opts.port` **{Number}**: The MongoDB port, defaults to `27017`. See the mongodb [connection string spec](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/) for more details.
* `opts.database` **{String}**: The MongoDB database, defaults to `admin`. See the mongodb [connection string spec](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/) for more details.
* `opts.connectOptions` **{Object}**: The MongoDB connection properties, being passed through to the native MongoDB driver. See [mongoose' documentation](http://mongoosejs.com/docs/connections.html), resp. [MongoDB's native driver for node.js' documentation](https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native) for more details.
**Example**
```js
// Default Options:
const defaultOpts = {
debug: false,
host: 'localhost',
port: 27017,
database: '',
connectOptions: {
db: {},
server: {
auto_reconnect: true
},
replset: {},
user: {},
pass: {},
auth: {},
mongos: {}
}
};
```
### [.constructor()](lib/index.js#L90)
Initialize a new MongooseConnection.
**Params**
* **{Configuration}**: opts - Options to initialize _MongooseConnection_.
### [.DEFAULT_CONFIG](lib/index.js#L102)
Returns the default options of mongoose-connection-promise
### [.connect()](lib/index.js#L115)
Connect mongoose to the given instance of MongoDB.
* `returns` **{Promise}**
### [.get()](lib/index.js#L137)
Get an existing connection or create a new one.
In contrary to `.connect()` this method will not create a new connection if MongooseConnection is already connected,
but the existing connection will be re-used and returned.
* `returns` **{Promise}**: Returns the connection to MongoDB.
### [.disconnect()](lib/index.js#L151)
Disconnects all mongoose connections.
* `returns` **{Promise}**
### [.isConnected()](lib/index.js#L162)
Indicates whether there is a current and ready-to-use mongoose connection.
* `returns` **{boolean}**
### [.defaultOptions()](lib/index.js#L174)
Return the default options (DEPRECATED).
* `returns`: object
## Test
Start the MongoDB docker container:
```sh
$ npm run dc-dev-up
```
Then run the tests:
```
$ npm run test
```
