Short description

Mongoose adds schemas, validation, and helpers on top of MongoDB. Models represent collections in a more application-friendly way.

User model

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: { type: String, required: true },
  email: { type: String, unique: true, required: true },
}, { timestamps: true });

const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
module.exports = User;
