How to close and pass db connection in mongodb 3.6

[sanjay....@gmail.com]

Once I open the connection in the router function I can pass db object in request objects to next() function.

MongoClient.connect(client) { req.client=client; next(); }

Without closing the db connection I can pass it into next function and execute queries on the same db object.

The issue is I can't close idle connections that pile up I have tried using connectiontimeout, sockettimeout options but they wont work.

I don't want to open .connect and at the same time close it multiple times.

I want to open once use through out my application and close once.

Please help

Hi Sanjay,

Could you provide more information about your environment: 

• Which one of the MongoDB Drivers and version are you using ?
• Are you utilising any other frameworks ?
• Could you provide a snippet example on how you’re currently handling the connection ?

Regards,
Wan.
