Mongoose Cookbook Authors

Follow along as I build out a very simple application to demonstrate:

• Defining Mongoose Schemas and Models
• Validating a Schema
• Querying a Schema

Instructions

1. Clone this repository.
2. Change into the new directory.
3. Install dependencies.

Solution code is available on the solution branch.

Step 1: Connect to Mongoose

Establish a connection to the database inside of a connection.js file. You'll need to install mongoose for that and have your MongoDB database running!

Step 2: Define a Schema

Use the mongoose Schema class to define a schema for an Author. Then use mongoose.model() to turn it into a model.

Step 3: Validate Your Schema

Add custom validation to your schema. This will ensure objects stored in the collection are consistent!

Step 4: Query Your Model

This is a tease of a future lesson. We're going to demonstrate simple queries, so that we can see that our model is doing what it's supposed to be. Namely: interfacing with MongoDB!
