`.manager`

The live connection manager for this datastore.

usage

datastore.manager

Depending on the adapter, this might represent a connection pool, a single connection, or just a reference to a preconfigured client library instance.

Example

Access a raw Mongo collection instance representing a model Pet.

javascript

// Since the db connection manager exposed by `sails-mongo` is actually
// the same as the Mongo client's `db` instance, we can treat it as such.
var db = Pet.getDatastore().manager;

// Now we can do anything we could do with a Mongo `db` instance:
var rawMongoCollection = db.collection(Pet.tableName);
