How to get Data from MongoDb using mongoose?

Question

I just started learning MongoDB and mongoose. Currently I have the following structure:

database   -> skeletonDatabase
collection -> adminLogin
         


        

Answer 1

mongoose by default takes singular model names and pairs them with a collection named with the plural of that, so mongoose is looking in the db for a collection called "adminLogins" which doesn't exist. You can specify your collection name as the 2nd argument when defining your schema:

var adminLogin = new Schema({
    username: String,
    password: String
}, {collection: 'adminLogin'});
