```javascript
 var options = {
	 "mongo" : {
		"url" : "mongodb://localhost:27017/test/"
	  },
	"ignore" : [ "**/.*", "*~", "*.sw?", "*.old", "*.bak", "**/node_modules"]
};
var fr = new Filerake(__dirname, options);

```


## use (Function callback)
Use **callback** to add/remove some information on each file found

```javascript
var fr = new Filerake(__dirname);
fr.use(function (doc, next) {
    doc.name = doc.basename.toUpperCase();
    next();
  };
}
```


## sync (Function callback)
start synchronization between the directory and the MongoDB collection.
**callback** will be called after a complete analysis. The first parameter will contain the Error object if an error occured, or null otherwise. While the second parameter will contain an handle to the MongoDb collection.

```javascript
var fr = new Filerake(__dirname);
fr.sync(function(err, collection) {
	console.log('Synchronistion done !');
	}
)
```
