If you have completed the 2 previous steps, the button Choose a connection method will turn green. You can then require and use the model immediately in other files.
Groups seem to be constantly on the move through their range, seldom using a den site for more than a few days at a time. Within the remainder of the pack, there is a reverse age-based hierarchy, in which the younger mongooses hold a higher ranking than the older mongooses. It is likely this occurs in order to ensure that juvenile mongooses receive enough food and do not have to compete with older mongooses.
These can be used to further simplify working with data. __v is the versionKey property set on each document when first created by mongoose bicycles. Its value contains the internal revision of the document. This reference will be the same as the one that was returned when we connected to the database, which means the schema and model definitions will not need to explicitly connect to the database.
We can also add a validation function that will ensure that the value is a valid email address. We will reference and use the validator library installed earlier. The require(‘mongoose’) call above returns a Singleton object. It means that the first time you call require(‘mongoose’), it is creating an instance of the class and returning it. On subsequent calls, it will return the same instance that was created and returned to you the first time because of how module import/export works in ES6.
It allows you to specify both the acceptable range of values and the error message for validation failure in all cases. The first argument is the singular name of the collection that will be created for your model , and the second argument is the schema you want to use in creating the model. You can get the default Connection object with mongoose bicycles.connection. You can require() and connect to a locally hosted database with mongoose.connect(), as shown below. This section provides an overview of how to connect Mongoose to a MongoDB database, how to define a schema and a model, and how to make basic queries. The rest of this tutorial shows how to define and access the Mongoose schema and models for the LocalLibrary website example.
