Nodejs connecting database in every request

In My app.js i have this piece of code.

app.use(function(req,res,next){
    req.db = db;
    next();
});

So basically attaching the db in every request.

I would like to know the best way to access db from other js files If any one can provide some samples, it will be great help for me

Node Modules are cached, thus if you made a module with:

db.js 

//...
module.exports=monk('localhost:27017/table');

and when you need it in another file, you can just call:

var db=require('db.js');

Only the first time you call it, the monk function will be run. The object will be cached, and the same object will be returned in any subsequent require.
