Node.js + MongoDB: insert one and return the newly inserted document

Question

I\'m wondering if there is a way to insert new document and return it in one go.

This is what I\'m currently using:

db.collection(\'mycollection\').i

You could use mongoose to do this. With the save method you can insert a document and return it on success. Here is an example from the mongoose documentation:

product.save(function (err, product, numAffected) {
  if (err) {
    // Handle error...
  } else {
    // Do something with the returned document...
  }
})
