Question

I\'ve found two approach to create new document in nodejs when I work with mongoose.

First:

var instance = new MyModel();
instan         


        

Answer 1

This code is for saving an array of documents into Database:

app.get("/api/setupTodos", function (req, res) {

var nameModel = mongoose.model("nameModel", yourSchema);
//create an array of documents
var listDocuments= [
    {
        username: "test",
        todo: "Buy milk",
        isDone: true,
        hasAttachment: false
    },
    {
        username: "test",
        todo: "Feed dog",
        isDone: false,
        hasAttachment: false
    },
    {
        username: "test",
        todo: "Learn Node",
        isDone: false,
        hasAttachment: false
    }
];

nameModel.create(listDocuments, function (err, results) {

    res.send(results);
});

'nameModel.create(listDocuments)' permit that create a collection with name of model and execute .save() method for only document into array.

Alternatively, you can save one only document in this way:

var myModule= mongoose.model("nameModel", yourSchema);

    var firstDocument = myModule({
      name: String,
surname: String
    });

firstDocument.save(function(err, result) {
  if(if err) throw err;
  res.send(result)

});
