JavaScript from Frontend to Backend

By: Eric Sarrion

Overview of this book

JavaScript, the most widely used programming language in the world, has numerous libraries and modules and a dizzying array of need-to-know topics. Picking a starting point can be difficult. Enter JavaScript from Frontend to Backend. This concise, practical guide will get you up to speed in next to no time. This book begins with the basics of variables and objects in JavaScript and then moves quickly on to building components on the client-side with Vue.js and a simple list management application. After that, the focus shifts to the server-side and Node.js, where you’ll examine the MVC model and explore the Express module. Once you've got to grips with the server-side and the client-side, the only thing that remains is the database. You’ll discover MongoDB and the Mongoose module. In the final chapter of this fast-paced guide, you'll combine all these pieces to integrate a Vue.js application into a Node.js server, using Express to structure the server code and MongoDB to store the information. By the end of this book, you will have the skills and confidence to successfully implement JavaScript concepts in your own projects and begin your career as a JavaScript developer.

Deleting documents in MongoDB

Similar to updateOne() and updateMany(), there are the two class methods, namely deleteOne(conditions, callback) and deleteMany(conditions, callback) that allow you to delete the first document (deleteOne()) or all the documents (deleteMany()) that satisfy the conditions expressed.

In addition, the instance method doc.remove(callback) also makes it possible to delete the doc document when it is in memory.

Let’s remove Clinton from the collection by using the deleteOne() method, then display the new contents of the collection:

Using deleteOne() to delete client “Clinton” (test.js file)

var mongoose = require("mongoose");
mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost/mydb_test");
var clientSchema = mongoose.Schema({
 lastname : String,
 firstname : String,
 address : String
});
// creation of the Client class associated with the clients 
// collection
var Client = mongoose.model("clients", clientSchema...
