Mongster

Use Mongster in route handlers or server actions without adding a second data layer

In a Next.js app, the cleanest pattern is to keep the connection and model definitions in a server-only module, then call them from route handlers or server actions.

import { ,  } from "./db";

type  = { : string };

export async function (: Request) {
  await ();
  const  = (await .()) as ;

  const  = await .({
    : .,
  });

  return new (.(), {
    : 201,
    : { "content-type": "application/json" },
  });
}

The same shared module also works for server actions. The important part is that connection setup stays on the server and does not leak into client components.
