How to use MongoDB in Ionic?

ionic-v1

Hi,
I have a local MongoDB database (at the moment it’s local, anyway) and I want to access it though an Ionic app. However, I’ve tried to use npm install mongodb and it works when is use the node.js CLI, however when I follow the Node.js MongoDB quickstart, it throws an error saying that require is not defined. Here is the code:

var MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var assert = require('assert');

// angular.module is a global place for creating, registering and retrieving Angular modules
// 'starter' is the name of this angular module example (also set in a <body> attribute in index.html)
// the 2nd parameter is an array of 'requires'
angular.module('starter', ['ionic'])

.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
  $ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
  // Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
  // for form inputs)
  cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);

  // Don't remove this line unless you know what you are doing. It stops the viewport
  // from snapping when text inputs are focused. Ionic handles this internally for
  // a much nicer keyboard experience.
  cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
}
if(window.StatusBar) {
  StatusBar.styleDefault();
}
  });
  var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/test';
  MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
assert.equal(null, err);
console.log("Connected correctly to server.");
db.close();
  });
})

.controller('MainController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
}])
