Configure

  //configure.js file
  
  
  /*
    require FileInterface Object
  */
  let FileInterface = require('@anzuev/studcloud.fileinterface');
  
  /*
    create an instance of FileInterface Object
  */
  let fileInterface = new FileInterface();
  
  /* 
    create mongooseConnection here or require it from somewhere else
  */
  let connection = mongoose.createConnection(/* settings*/);
  
  /*
    !!! It is important to configure FileInterface object(connect this module to specific db)
        If you forget to do that you are going to get an DbError 'No connection was configured for FileInterface module'
  */
  fileInterface.setConnection(connection);

  /*
    export fileInterface(using connection to specific db);
  */
  module.exports = fileInterface.get();

Usage

  // index.js file
  
  let fileInterface = require(/*path to configure.js file*/"./configure.js");
  
  let promise1 = fileInterface.add(.....);
  let promise2 = fileInterface.getFileById(...);
  
  // work with promises
  promise1.then(function(file){
    
  }).catch(function(error){
  
  });
  
  //or work with es6 generators and Q.async
  
  Q.async(function*(){
    let file = yield promise1;
    let file2 = yield promise2;
    ...
  })().done();
