How to Connect, Read, and Write to a MongoDB Atlas Database with Mongoose

index.js

// run 'npm i -s mongoose'

const mongoose = require('mongoose')
// connect
mongoose.connect(`your-auth-url-here`)
.then(() => console.log("Mongoose has connected."))
.catch(err => console.log(`Mongoose failed to connect. Error: ${err}`))
// make a new schema
const schema = mongoose.Schema({
  // this is just an example, you don't have to use these specific details
  // key: value - this can be set/read just like objects.
  username: String,
  password: String,
  email: String,
  zip_code: String
})

// save the schema to MongoDB
mongoose.model("accountExample", schema)

// to get that schema, use
const account = mongoose.model('accountExample')

// to create a new entry in the 'accountExample' database,
const newAccount = new account({
  username: "FHGDev",
  password: "nope",
  email: "[email protected]",
  zip_code: "12345"
})
// save it to the database
newAccount.save()
