Mongoose queries and ID validation
In this section, you're going to learn a few alternative ways that you can use Mongoose to query your data. Now, inside of the server.test
file, we already looked at one way, Todo.find
. We're going to look at two more and then we're also going to explore how to validate ObjectIDs.
In order to do all of this we are going to make a new file in the playground
folder. I'm going to call this one mongoose-queries.js
, and the first thing we need to do is load in the mongoose
file in the db
folder and the todo
file in the models
folder. I'm going to use ES6 destructuring, like we've used for all files where this happens, then we can require

, and finally the filename we're looking for is called mongoose
:
const {mongoose} = require('./../server/db/mongoose');
We can do the same thing for todo
; we're going to make that constant Todo
from the require
, return the result,...
