How did you create it in the schema
@Chinecherem20199 This is the Model I used:
`require('dotenv').config();
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const statesSchema = new Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required:[true, "name is required"],
trim: true,
},
capital: {
type: String,
required:[true, "capital is required"],
trim: true,
},
region: {
type: String,
required:[true, "region is required"],
trim: true,
},
no_of_lgas: {
type: Number,
required:[true, "no_of_lgas is required"],
default: 0,
trim: true,
},
local_gov_areas: {
type: [String],
required:[true, "local_gov_areas is required"],
},
population: {
type: Number,
required:[true, "population is required"],
trim: true,
},
description: {
type: String,
required:[true, "description is required"],
default: "State description.",
trim: true,
}
});
// create states model
const states = mongoose.model("states", statesSchema);
module.exports = {states}`
Thank you sir
