+You also have to have the `MongoImport.hs` modul along with it:
+
+``` haskell
+{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
+
+module MongoImport where
+
+import Language.Haskell.TH (Type(..))
+import Database.Persist.TH
+import Database.Persist.MongoDB
+
+mongoSettings =
+    (mkPersistSettings (ConT ''MongoContext))
+    { mpsGeneric = False
+    }
+```
+
+Execution demo:
+
+``` shellsession
+sibi::jane { ~/scripts }-> ./mongodb.hs
+UserKey {unUserKey = MongoKey {unMongoKey = 5801bde35844a10b1f000000}}
+```
