Usage

Example:

app.set('models', __dirname +'/models')
app.set('controllers', __dirname +'/controllers')
app.set('routes', __dirname +'/routes.json')
var mvc = require('mvc')(app)
app.models = mvc.loadModels(fs, db)
mvc.loadRoutes(mvc.loadControllers(fs))

db should be a mongoose db connection instance as in mongoose.connect()

To use a model;

app.models.modelFileName.method()
