A basic User Schema:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
password: String,
age: Number,
created: {type: Date, default: Date.now}
});
var User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
Schema Types.
Methods can be set on Schemas to help doing things related to that schema(s), and keeping them well organized.
userSchema.methods.normalize = function() {
this.name = this.name.toLowerCase();
};
Example usage:
erik = new User({
'name': 'Erik',
'password': 'pass'
});
erik.nor...
Schema Statics are methods that can be invoked directly by a Model (unlike Schema Methods, which need to be invoked by an instance of a Mongoose document). You assign a Static to a schema by adding the function to the schema's statics object.
One example use case is for constructing custom queries:...
A generic schema useful to work with geo-objects like points, linestrings and polygons.
Both Mongoose and MongoDB support Geojson.
Example of usage in Node/Express:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
// Creates a GeoObject Schema.
var myGeo= new Schema({
...
This kind of schema will be useful if you want to keep trace of your items by insertion time or update time.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
// Creates a User Schema.
var user = new Schema({
name: { type: String },
...
