猫鼬-定义现有集合的模型

Question

I have imported some CSV data to my database through mongoimport, which created my collection during the import.

When defining my model in Node, what do I pass for the schema parameter? Viewing my db in compass shows a schema already created based off the imported data.

I'm currently passing an empty schema which seems totally wrong.

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var Units = new Schema({
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('Units', Units, 'units');

Answer 1

The schema should contain something like this that defines the kind of data you're working with.

var Units = new Schema({
    f_name: String,
    l_name: String,
    manager: Boolean
}); 

See 'Defining your schema' .

Also, I don't believe mongoose.model takes a third parameter.

module.exports = mongoose.model('Units',Units);

Edit: yes it does.
