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
