Connect middleware to expose documents through MyDB.

Example

// dependencies
var mydb = require('mydb-expose');
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var db = require('monk')():

// middleware
app.use(express.cookieParser());
app.use(mydb({ mongo: '127.0.0.1:27017', url: '127.0.0.1:3000' }));

// example session route
app.post('/login', function(req, res){
  req.session.set('user_id', '123');
  res.send(200);
});

// example document expose
app.get('/some/doc', function(req, res){
  res.send(db.get('collection').findOne({ some: 'query' }));
});
