scala - play framework with mongodb -

i using mongo play framework "reactivemongo", makes async bridge between mongo connection , programm. standalone projects use casbah lib - has more native syntax (sometimes using of futures in each request not needed, , religion not allow me use async.await blocking each request ) me , no actors overhead, don't json bson conversion overhead.

but using casbah in play framework direct way(just create mongo connection in controller ) produces connection leaks - means should create connection pool , control yourself, otherwords write reactivemongo.

has used casbah mongo in production ? best , canonical way of creating , controlling connection in play ecosystem ?

first should check connecting mongodb. go tutorial create scala project ( if used other editor follow scala project creation steps ).

now check following steps :

1> projectname/conf/application.conf add application.conf mongo db name, collection name, port number, url etc. play reactive mongo ex: added following in application.conf

mongodb.default.host = "localhost" mongodb.default.db = "demo" mongodb.default.port = "27017" ci.default.uri = "mongodb://localhost:27017/" 

2> create .scala file in controller folder give name ex. set file name scalamongofactory , add following code in file

import com.mongodb.casbah. {   mongoclient, mongoclienturi } import com.typesafe.config.configfactory object scalamongofactory {   private val config = configfactory.load()   private val database = config.getstring("mongodb.default.db")   private val server = mongoclienturi(config.getstring("ci.default.uri"))   private val client = mongoclient(server)   val database = client(database) } 

3> create new .scala file in controller want use mongo connection. ex. created checkconnection.scala file , contains

import com.cloudinsights.scala.controllers. {   scalamongofactory } object checkconnection {   val collection = scalamongofactory.database("your collectionname") }
