Connecting to MongoDB with Fluent

You need to edit Config/fluent.json to define mongo as the underlying database technology to use as driver for Fluent:

{ 
    "driver": "mongo" 
}

Creating a driver is done using the MongoDB Connection String URI Format. Initializing a MongoDriver such a URI will attempt a connection to MongoDB.

import MongoDriver
import Fluent

let driver = try MongoDriver("mongodb://localhost")
let db = Fluent.Database(driver)
