Day 3 [D&D Character Sheets]

Report

Today I worked on finishing the database connection. I'm still thinking about how my app will interface with the database.

One way to bring my mongoose models into the app is to import the db module into the main file and attach the module to the global scope or to the request's context. I could also require the module in each route. The weekend should be a good time to evaluate the pro and cons and review the docs.
