how to access various mongo databases with node

[Roland Bole]

I need some guideline with this question.

I try to build an node express REST api which has to deal with various mongoDB databases on the same mongoDB server.

What is the right approach to do this?

The sequence could be:

• app starts
• connect to the mongoDB Server
• use the right express route
• check which database is needed
• finally query the correct data
• connection to the database is still open

OR

• use the right express route
• connect to the mongoDB Server
• check which database is needed
• query the data
• close the DB connection

AND how can I do this with mongo-native driver, not mongoose?

Thanks for any help.

The best native mongodb driver wrapper i've been using would be mongojs. https://github.com/mafintosh/mongojs
