Have the option to override mongo db name

Currently mongo db takes it's database name from the containing folder. Our repo naming conventions contain a period which mongo does not accept. Our workaround was the best the project in a middle folder to handle this but that is a break from our processes. Having a environmental variable or something similar to override the mongo db name would be very useful.

    Hi,

    Thanks for submitting this idea. The database name inheriting the project root folder name should create database name with safe strings with proper replacement logic. As long as OS supports it, Engine should be able to work with it.


    The local mongodb's intent to power PageBuilder editor and engine in local dev environments which is not intended to be directly interacted from outside. I'm curious if you have any other use case than just getting PageBuilder to work.
