Working with Mongo

Mongo Integration

Extend the ConfigurableMongo trait from blueeyes.persistence.mongo. Then in the startup method, extract the mongo configuration from your configuration and pass it to the mongo function to construct a facade through which you can access Mongo.

service { context =>
  startup {
    val mongoConfig = context.config.configMap("mongo")
    // In real code you'd put mongoConfig into some data structure you can access from request
    mongoConfig
   } ->
   ...
}

The configuration elements are mongo.mock, a boolean indicating if a mock or real Mongo should be used, and dropBeforeStart, which is a map specifying databases to drop.
