- Mongoose is a MongoDB object modeling tool designed to work in an asynchronous environment. Mongoose supports both promises and callbacks.
Using npm:
$ npm install mongoose- Mongoose is a Node.js-based Object Data Modeling (ODM) library for MongoDB.
- It is akin to an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) such as SQLAlchemy for traditional SQL databases.
- The problem that Mongoose aims to solve is allowing developers to enforce a specific schema at the application layer.
- In addition to enforcing a schema, Mongoose also offers a variety of hooks, model validation, and other features aimed at making it easier to work with MongoDB.
