Collection and Client getters

Utility functions for global access to Collections and MongoClient.

getCollection(name [, options]) => Collection

Get a new instance of a collection. Uses default database determined from the connection string. See official driver documentation for valid options.

const { getCollection } = require('mongodash');

const myCollection = getCollection('myCollectionName');
