I'm using mongodb database in node.js with mongodb module. I want to know how to use one mongodb instance into different-different module?
I create a instance of mongodb database inside app.js. And for routing I used another module myroutes.js and I want to re-use the same mongodb instance (which I already created in app.js) inside myroutes.js.
How I do this? I tried it using app.set() but it doesn't work.
You need to visit the singleton design pattern which limits the number of instances of a particular object to just one. This single instance is called the singleton.
Example
var Singleton = (function () {
var instance;
function createInstance() {
var object = new Object("I am the instance");
return object;
}
return {
getInstance: function () {
if (!instance) {
instance = createInstance();
}
return instance;
}
};
})();
function run() {
var instance1 = Singleton.getInstance();
var instance2 = Singleton.getInstance();
alert("Same instance? " + (instance1 === instance2));
}
