We don't need much information about a user, so we can reduce the User schema to only the strictly necessary information. Also, we can add a profile field, which can hold any extra info about the user, such as social media profile info or other accounts data.
Let's modify the User schema from app/models/user.js with the following:
const UserSchema = new Schema({
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
name: {
type: String
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
select: false
},
passwordSalt: {
type: String,
required: true,
select: false
},
profile: {
type: Mixed
},
createdAt: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now
}
});
