MongoError,err:E11000 duplicate key error

Question

I have a MongoDb schema like this

    var User = new Schema({
    \"UserName\": { type: String, required: true },
    \"Email\": { type: String, required: tr         


        

Answer 1

What I had realized is that my data-structures were changing -- this is where versioning comes in handy.

You may need to get a mongoose-version module, do a thing.remove({}, ...) or even drop the collection: drop database with mongoose

I use RoboMongo for an admin tool (and I highly recommend it!) so I just went in and right-clicked/dropped collection from the console.

If anyone knows how to easily version and/or drop a collection from within the code, feel free to post a comment below as it surely helps this thread ( and I :) ).
