models

The 'models' Directory

This app uses mongoose to create models for MongoDB. Typically, only put one model per file.

An example of what a file might look like:

// Require mongoose so you can get access to schemas and models
var mongoose = require('mongoose');

// module.exports your model so other people can access it
module.exports = mongoose.model('Picture', mongoose.Schema({
        uploaded: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
        tags: [String],
        description: String,
        path: String
    });
);

The mongoose.Schema({...}) part is for defining what your model looks like. The mongoose.model() part hooks up the name of the model to what the schema is.

A model can then be included in other files, like so:

var Picture = require('models/Picture');
