MongooseModelExercise.md

Description

We are going to create a mongoose model and use it!

1. Create a project folder named cardealer and navigate to it.

2. Run npm init

3. Run npm install --save mongoose

4. Using mongoose models, create a model for the following document (car.js):

• A car

  • should have the following properties:

    • make
    • model
    • color
    • year
    • meta:
      • mpg
      • msrp (manufacturer suggested retail price)

  • The car should have a method that outputs a string that describes the car.

    • example output: "The <:color> <:make> <:model> is a beautiful car. It is eco-friendly. Consumes only <:meta.mpg> mpg!. With a tag price of <:meta.msrp> it's a bargain!"

5. Using the node CLI node, require mongoose, and connect to the database:

  // Connect to mongo db
  var mongoose = require('mongoose');
  mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/cardealer');

6. Require your car model:

// or ./models/car depending on where the file is located in the project
var Car = require('./car')

7. Create 2 different cars and save them to the database.

Deliverable

Slack me the output of the following command:

  var result = Car.find({}, function(err, cars){ console.log(cars) });
