Rails app and mongdb database code Explain

I am new to mogodb and forked one rails app which use Mongoid - 3.00 as mapper. Now one of my model is this : 

class Portfolio
 include Mongoid::Document
 include Mongoid::Timestamps

  """
  Folder format:
  {
   name: <folder name>,
   stocks: [
    {
       name: <stock name>,
      id: <stock id>,
      qty: <stock quantity>
     }
    ]
  }
  """
  field :folders, type: Array
  end

I am running rails app like this : 1) bundle and 2) rails s

I have some doubts
1)Right now model are independent , Suppose if I can see the database in the mongodb shell how i can see different fields declared in the database?
2)In the above code what is the function of code between """ and """.?

Not sure about the code between """ but you simply do this to add attributes to your model using mongoid:

class Portfolio
 include Mongoid::Document
 include Mongoid::Timestamps

 field :a_string, type: String, default: ''
 field :an_integer, type: Integer, default: 0
 field :a_hash, type: Hash, default: {}
end

From mongodb shell:

> mongo
> use your_database_name
> db.portfolios.findOne()
