Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. For smaller projects where a full mongodb server is overkill, it would be great to use rest-hapi with NeDB: https://github.com/louischatriot/nedb

Describe the solution you'd like Rather than providing a mongo URI, we could pass in an object that maps model name keys to NeDB datastore instances (i.e., mongo collections).

Describe alternatives you've considered TingoDB, but it appears to be abandoned.

Additional context I haven't looked in detail yet to see if rest-hapi uses any parts of the mongo API that NeDB does not support.

If this seems possible, I can help with the code changes.

Research direction
Investigate the parts of MongoDB API that rest hapi uses (likely via Mongoose or native driver) and compare with NeDB's supported API. Look at the database connection setup in the rest hapi codebase, possibly in files like 'lib/database.js' or similar. Check existing comments for any discussion about MongoDB compatibility. Consider creating a mapping between model names and NeDB datastore instances as suggested in the issue.
