Saving Posts to the DB

Lecture 319:- Saving Posts to the DB

To save posts to the database using Mongoose, we need to do the following:

1. Define a schema for the post.

   javascriptCopy code

   const mongoose = require('mongoose'); const postSchema = new mongoose.Schema({  title: String,  content: String,  author: String,  createdAt: {    type: Date,    default: Date.now  } }); module.exports = mongoose.model('Post', postSchema);

2. Create a new instance of the post model and save it to the database.

   javascriptCopy code

   const Post = require('./models/post'); const newPost = new Post({  title: 'My First Post',  content: 'This is my first post.',  author: 'John Doe' }); newPost.save((err, post) => {  if (err) {    console.log(err);  } else {    console.log(post);  } });

   Alternatively, we can use async/await syntax to make the code more readable:

   javascriptCopy code

   try {  const post = new Post({    title: 'My First Post',    content: 'This is my first post.',    author: 'John Doe'  });  const savedPost = await post.save();  console.log(savedPost); } catch (err) {  console.log(err); }

These are the basic steps to save posts to the database using Mongoose. We can also add more fields to the schema and customize the validation rules as needed.
