import express, { Request, Response } from "express";
import mongoose from 'mongoose';

  .then(() => console.log('Connected to MongoDB'))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error connecting to MongoDB:', error));

const searches: Search[] = [];

/**

Search.model.ts

import mongoose, { Document, Model, Schema } from 'mongoose';

interface SearchDocument extends Document {
  userId: string;
  name: string;
  queries: string[];
}

const SearchSchema = new Schema<SearchDocument>({
  userId: { type: String, required: true },
  name: { type: String, required: true },
  queries: [{ type: String }],
});

const SearchModel: Model<SearchDocument> = mongoose.model<SearchDocument>('Search', SearchSchema);

export default SearchModel;
