Creating the Schema and model for our CCA app – Part 5
member.js
member.js
The above code uses Mongoose, a MongoDB object modeling tool, to define and export a Member model with a
specific schema.
Here’s a explana on of its main components:
Impor ng Mongoose: The Schema and model are imported from the mongoose module.
Defining the Member Schema: A new Schema is created for Member with the following fields:
name: A required string.
email: A required string.
role: A string that must be one of the following: ‘president’, ‘treasurer’, ‘secretary’, ‘member’.
password: A required string.
Timestamps: The schema is configured to automa cally include mestamp fields (createdAt and updatedAt).
Expor ng the Model: Finally, a Mongoose model named ‘member’ is created using the MemberSchema and
exported for use in other parts of the applica on. This model provides methods to query and modify the ‘members’
collec on in MongoDB.
Member model will be used in the backend of a web applica on and is used to interact with the database to create,
read, update, and delete members. The role field (Authoriza on) can be used to authorize and restrict access to
different parts of the applica on. The password field would typically store a hashed password for authen ca on
purposes. The mestamps op on automa cally manages createdAt and updatedAt fields.
