It does not require mongoose. You can use the native mongodb driver
installed with `npm install mongodb` and require it with `mongodb =
require('mongodb')`.
It does not requires a user being declared. You could have put your
method right away but that's kind of messy. Something like:
app.get('/users', function (req, res, next) {
// Your operations go here
});
As you can see that's pure JavaScript and user was supposed to be an
Object with the methods for users-related actions.
