Importing

Add this to your dependencies:

.Package(url: "https://github.com/vapor-community/MongoKitten-Provider.git", majorVersion: 0, minor: 1)

And import MongoKittenProvider in your project.

After that you can add the MongoKittenProvider.Provider to your list of providers.

try config.addProvider(MongoKittenProvider.Provider.self)

Your mongo.json can stay the same with MongoKitten provider.

{
    "url": "mongodb://localhost/my-database"

try drop.assertMongoDB() will get it.
