Best Practice to Open/Close MongoDB Connection in Node.js Web App?

[David Graf]

Hello

What is the best practice to open and close a MongoDB connection in a node.js web app? Currently, I am opening the connection and I am starting the webserver in the corresponding callback function:

  db.open(function(err, db) {

    http.createServer(onRequest).listen(8888);

    console.log("Server has started.");

  }); 

Is this best practice? And where should I close the connection? Is closing the connection not necessary?

Best

That is absolutely fine. You don't need to close any connections anywhere.
