Conclusion

I think the best way is hide all the mongo db connection in one place, which handler connect to mongo, close mongo connection when node.js closed. error hanlder mongo, also defined all the collection.

These should be in one place. So your node.js side just require that file and use function to CRUD.

I'll post a example next time.
