Connecting to your MongoDB instance was the first step, but the real magic of the Mongoose module is its ability to define a document schema. As you already know, MongoDB uses collections to store multiple documents, which aren't required to have the same structure as one another. However, when dealing with objects, it is sometimes necessary for documents to be similar. Mongoose uses a schema object to define the document list of properties, each with its own type and constraints in order to enforce the document structure. After specifying a schema, you will go on to define a Model constructor, which you'll use to create instances of MongoDB documents. In this section, you'll learn how to define a user schema and model and how to use a model instance to create, retrieve, and update user documents.
