mongoose.connect('connection string here')  //  <-- this saves to the singleton.  your callback to confirm is fine if you just want to know that it connected for sure.  :+1:

//now that mongoose is connected, you need a model in order to save a document

//schemas use json validator syntax so type declaration is Number, String, Bolean, etc (native js types)
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
  name: String
})

const userModel = new mongoose.model('user', userSchema)


function insertIntoDatabase(name) {
  new userModel({name}).save()
