Node.js Node.JS and MongoDB. Creating New Collection
Example
With Mongoose, everything is derived from a Schema. Lets create a schema.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var AutoSchema = new Schema({
name : String,
countOf: Number,
});
// defining the document structure
// by default the collection created in the db would be the first parameter we use (or the plural of it)
module.exports = mongoose.model('Auto', AutoSchema);
// we can over write it and define the collection name by specifying that in the third parameters.
module.exports = mongoose.model('Auto', AutoSchema, 'collectionName');
// We can also define methods in the models.
AutoSchema.methods.speak = function () {
var greeting = this.name
? "Hello this is " + this.name+ " and I have counts of "+ this.countOf
: "I don't have a name";
console.log(greeting);
}
mongoose.model('Auto', AutoSchema, 'collectionName');
Remember methods must be added to the schema before compiling it with mongoose.model() like done above ..
