Iota
This is the Iota mongodb class that is common among several processes/repos. We are trying it out as a separate repo to see what the advantages/disadvantage are of doing it this way.
It extends mongo-models which is a light wrapper around mongodb to make a few things easier.
Usage
var Iota=require("iota")([list of docs to initialze collection with - if it is empty]);
also, if you aren't doing MongoModels.connect() anywhere else, you can do:
await Iota.connectInit();
Note, it's important to await in order to make sure that the database is connect before functions that require the db are executed.
this should only be done in one place in a project. Everywhere else use:
var Iota=require("iota")();
