Mongoose Cheat Sheet

Mongoose is a Node.js library for interacting with MongoDB. Here are some useful guides / tutorials:

• Schemas: The rules that each document in your collection must follow.
• SchemaTypes: The rules that each property in your document must follow.
• Models: The (typed) documents themselves; instances of a schema.
• Making Queries. Here are some particularly useful ones:
  • query operators
  • find (retrieve a collection of documents by a filter condition)
  • findById (retrieve a document by its id)
  • findOneAndUpdate (update an existing document)
  • findOneAndDelete (delete an existing document)
