        name: "Roberto",
        age: 22,
        admin: true,
    };

    const mongoose = require('mongoose');
    const Person = mongoose.model('Person');
    const massAssign = require('mass-assign-filter');
    
    module.exports = () => {
      return {
    
        /**
        * ...
        **/
    
        create(req, res) {
          const whiteList = ['name', 'age'];
          Person.create(massAssign(req.body, whiteList), (err, question) => {
            if (err) res.status(400).json(err);
            else res.status(201).json(question);
          });
        },
      };
    };

Example 3 (Black List):

    // With Black List
    
    const mongoose = require('mongoose');

    const massAssign = require('mass-assign-filter');
    
    module.exports = () => {
      return {
    
        /**
        * ...
        **/
    
        create(req, res) {
          const blackList = ['admin'];
          Person.create(massAssign(req.body, blackList, false), (err, question) => {
            if (err) res.status(400).json(err);
            else res.status(201).json(question);
