Let's be honest, creating boilerplate for validation, casting, and business logic in MongoDB can be tedious. This is the reason Mongoose was developed. Imagine we have a fondness for adorable kittens and wish to log every kitten we encounter in MongoDB. The first step is to incorporate Mongoose into our project and establish a connection to the test database hosted on our local MongoDB instance. We have an active connection to the test database located at localhost, and now it’s essential to set up notifications for successful connections or any errors that may arise. In Mongoose, documents correspond directly to the documents stored in MongoDB; each document is essentially an instance of its corresponding Model. Furthermore, subdocuments refer to documents that are nested within others, allowing for intricate data structures. Mongoose provides two main concepts for handling subdocuments: arrays of subdocuments and individual nested subdocuments, making it flexible for various data representations. With Mongoose, managing complex relationships and data structures becomes significantly easier, allowing developers to focus more on their application logic rather than the underlying database mechanics.
