How to populate Rails app with existing mongo database?

Question

I have a database "market" with collection "users". I want to create a Rails app and populate it with an existing data. So, I have a few questions: 1. Which gem better use? Mongoid or maybe mongo_mapper 2. What to write in config to indicate with which db to work? 3. How to bind User model with collection.

I tried to write the following in mongoid.yml

database: market

but it didn't work. Please, describe me how to make it step by step. Thanks in advance.
