Using mongodb

Using MongoDB in Mojolicious

Make a helper in startup to access the schema so you can do something like $self->db from your controller

$self->attr(db => sub { 
    MongoDB::Connection
        ->new(host => $config->{database_host})
        ->get_database($config->{database_name});
});
$self->helper('db' => sub { shift->app->db });

The reason for the attr approach is so that each child will init it's own MongoDB connection which is required by the MongoDB driver

Mongo alternative for Mojolicious

Of course, as of February 2012, you could use the Mongo experimental Mojolicious spin-off driver by Sebastian Riedel.

It's Mangolicious - or, very much in sync with Mojolicious logic and implementation.
