MongoDB Schema & Model

In MongoDB + Mongoose, you normally create a model in two steps:

1. Define a Schema
2. Create a Model from that schema

For example, let’s create a User model.

import { Schema, model } from "mongoose";

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

export default model("User", userSchema);

Schema defines the structure of a user document, export allows you to use the model in other files.
