Creating a Model

In Mongoose, a model defines how your data is structured.

To create a model, you first define a schema. A schema describes the fields and their types.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: String,
  age: Number
});

Then you create a model based on that schema:

const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);

The model is used to interact with the database. It allows you to create, read, update, and delete documents.

For example, each document created with this model will follow the defined structure.
