Required

• {mongoConnectStr}

The connection string to the mongo database. Example: mongodb://user:pass@mydbhost:12345/mydbname.

• {mongooseSettings}

Any extra settings to pass to the initialization of mongoose. By default, autoIndex is set to true only when not in production. This setting is always set unless an explicit autoIndex is set. Generally, keeping this to false in production is ideal. As of mongoose 5, autoIndex or useMongoClient options are no longer need since the mongo client is enabled by default.
