Summary


In this chapter, you were introduced to the robust Mongoose model. You connected to your MongoDB instance and created your first Mongoose schema and model. You also learned how to validate your data and modify it using schema modifiers and Mongoose middleware. You discovered virtual attributes and modifiers, and you learned how to use them in order to change the representation of your documents. You also discovered how to use Mongoose to implement a reference between documents. In the next chapter, we'll go through the Passport authentication module, which will use your User model to address user authentication.
