Working with MongoDB

Install MongoDB via homebrew and access it from the command line. Create databases, switch between them, and manage data in collections using insert, find, update, and remove operations.

Install mongoose, connect to a local MongoDB, define a vehicle schema and model, create and store a vehicle via an express route, and run the server.

Discover how Mongoose saves a new vehicle, uses find to list all vehicles, redirects after save, and renders results on the home page.

Build a vehicle creation form submitted via get to a new vehicle route, capture name and color, save to the database, and refresh the home page.

Explore setting defaults in a Mongoose schema, apply a default wheel count of four, and see existing documents unaffected while new vehicles inherit the default unless overridden.

Learn how to define instance methods on mongoose schema models, access instance data with this, and print the vehicle name when invoking a vehicle's honk method on the home page.
