How do I access remote mLab development db in Rails 5 app?

I'm currently setting up a new Rails 5 app with an existing remote db in mongolab. I'm using mongoid. Here's how I've setup development under config/mongoid.yml:

database: <insert_database_name>
hosts: 
 - <db_number>.mlab.com

options:
 user: <db_user_username>
 password: <db_user_password>

I even tried replacing the above params with the uri string inside development but no luck. I want to be able to access the remote db using rails console. What am I missing?

I use the same syntax that you use to config for database and it still work for me rails 5 and mongoid 5. Here what i set. Hope it help!!

  database: manga_app
  hosts:
    - ds151108.mlab.com:51108
  options:

    # The name of the user for authentication.
    user: 'xxx' (xxx is the username you set for database not the name you use to sign in)

    # The password of the user for authentication.
    password: 'yyy' (yyy is the password you set for the database not the password you use to sign in)

Resolved. Had to degrade the Rails installation to 4.2.7 and mongoid 4. Worked like a charm.
