Came here after your MongoDB crash. Man, I just want to let you know, you have taken so many extra miles to give your viewer nothing but your absolute best. I'm glad I am spending hours from my life watching your content. Thank you for your service, Kyle.
Another way to add createdAt and updatedAt, is to just add a second argument to Schema( ), an object with a property timestamps set to true! Fantastic tutorial!
Kyle always reading minds! I was just taking a break from brushing up on mongoose! Lol just spent 20 minutes trying to update an item in a nested array, I made it wayyyy harder than it really was... but I'll just brush up with this video now. Thank you my man!
This is a goldmine, this video has got to have the highest value per second watched ever. Thank you Kyle! I'm not even kidding when I say you answered some of the questions that keep me awake at night in a 30 Min video
This should be a whole series! You could flesh out each of those concepts into real world scenarios. Much appreciated for filling the gaps in my mongoose acumen 🙌
This is my first time using mongoose and this video gave me everything I needed even though I had no prior knowledge. ABSOLUTE BEST, keep up the good work man!!
I've watched a number of your videos, you have a real knack for getting straight to heart of how things work, and how to use them. Many thanks my friend!
So, I'm using "mongoose": "^6.9.0", and these were the things I've encountered: Mongoose implicitly type casts while enforcing it's schema. Thus, if a name field is of [type: String], and you enter [name: 4], where 4 is a number, there won't be any errors, since mongoose will typecast 4 to "4". We can add [cast: false] to each field while defining the schema to tell mongoose that we don't want it to type cast it. After doing this you might get an error for the [createdAt] field, (if you are following the tutorial exactly). Here you might want to change the arrow function, from [() => Date.now()] to [() => new Date()]. The former gives you the total time passed from 1970 in seconds or something, and the latter gives you the date in standard format. (typeof Date.now() === 'Number') Also note that mongoose doesn't save the fields that are not present on the schema definition.
Thanks for the tutorials. I've started here, gone back to another video you referenced about async await, gone back from there again to another video you referendec about promises, then back to here and it's all making sense to me right now. I can't believe I went through an entire udemy "complete web development" course without learning about async and promises.
I love the way you explain everything simple and clear. Also you're not passing the advanced topics, instead explaining them really good which is awesome. Thanks
Thank you for this great video! I would like to add a comment about the difference between virtual methods and regular methods : both provide ways to add functionality to Mongoose schemas. Virtual methods are mainly used for defining computed properties, while regular methods are used for defining reusable functionality (in this video it was displaying a log message).
I've been doing FCC's backend course but I really had no idea how to handle saving models or anything in their entire mongoose unit. I'm glad I have your videos though, I love the way you teach bro
Kayle, once again, an incredible tutorial. Congratulations. An excellent work. Your tutorials are helping me a lot in my new job where I´m developing basic apps with MEAN stack. I haven´t got a formal education in this topic and your work help tremendously. Thank you very much for shearing you knowledge. How I´d wish to program the way you do !!!! :) Thanks again from Argentine. Best regards Guille.
Very nice tutorial. I had to watch it in 0.8x to actually let things percolate in mind! It is amazing how someone is so intelligent, good looking, eloquent and so much more at the same time. You earned a subsriber and a fan sir!
just what i was willing to learn today ... you're a master ... just don't rush ... our first language is not always english ... is already difficult to learn programming ... tx for u effort
That was a good piece of advice to always use save and create in order to keep the validation middleware active. But this makes it a bit cumbersome for PATCH requests where requests carry only partial payloads and you want to leave the rest unchanged.
Thank you so much for having these guides on youtube for free. I have been in hell for the past 3 days trying to figure out this garbage grandfathered in API at my company. I've been trying to figure out why this disgusting convoluted api at my company is seemingly generating calls to the database out of nowhere, and skipping to around 3:40, I finally got the one tip that made me realize that there must be a reference to the base schema somewhere in this project. I seriously hate how abstracted and convoluted all these modern solutions are, this is absolutely ridiculous. No wonder nobody understands how their APIs work these days. All the useful information gets buried under 14 files of Schema abstraction and inheritance. Why would a system ever be designed like this, I feel like the industry is purposefully inflating the amount of nonsense lines you have to write just to simply interface with the most basic features. I miss when you could just create a connection object and then send a sanitized query to the database and then get back the data you asked for without having to define the entire structure of the database in code with 100s of worthless lines of nonsense. Please, for the sake of future devs' sanity, please just use something sensible like Postgres. Postgresql scales better than Mongodb, supports much more straight forward querying, and has native support for storing documents in the database...
You really convey so much in so little time! I saw your MongoDB course earlier, that one was the same thing! Nice to have a concise resource like yours. You can watch one vid and be confident that you are aware of most of the capabilities of the software.
your cheat sheet is extremely helpful ! I recommend it to everyone!! thanks for that free gift ! I'm slowly falling in love here xD keep up the great work!

My head just exploded with so much knowledge ! Thanks for the tutorial 👍 Will watch it bunch of times to get all of it. How do you remember all of it ? (So much information)
I need help. I am getting "const err = new MongooseError(message);" and "MongooseError: Operation `users.insertOne()` buffering timed out after 10000ms". I have not made it passed 6:39 because of this.
This was really an amazing and insightful video Kyle. Thank you for your efforts. Can you please make a video on how to connect front-end (using React) with back-end (using Express.js and mongoose). Would really appreciate it.
This is great. So many other videos just repeat the same stuff over and over ("MongoDB is not an RDB!" Yes, I know, move on please) but never really show you how to do things and what it's useful for.
When you modify a field, you should use set method for it. Otherwise Mongoose sometimes can not detect a field changed. So it does not update that field.

I love your crash course series, whenever I forget about anything I straight away check your videos to get started. Thank you so much.
Best mongoose crash course on the internet and even better than a complete course that I took on Udemy. Thank you Kyle
Yeah my comment is the same
Momgoose schema also provides an timestamp option which when set to true creates createdAt and updatedAt property on its own
This is an excellent video.
Just enough information to get you started. 👌
roasting or praising.

definitely needed this. I've been so lost on the mongodb, node, and express thing due to not fully understanding mongoose. You the mvp webdev 👍👍👍
Loved the fact that the cheat sheet has both Dark and Light version. Thanks a lot!
it doesn't matter if UA-cam took down the dislike button, because I always give this dude a Like

Thank you very much, I was looking for a good mongoose tutorial, and now I'm very lucky that my favorite teacher posted a new video on this topic!
Small love from Pakistan hatsoff to you Sir!
I was stuck on this specific topic for so long and couldn't find the information until now, thank you so much!
Great video
Best mongoose course on UA-cam!!!!
You really convey so much in so little time! I saw your MongoDB course earlier, that one was the same thing! Nice to have a concise resource like yours. You can watch one vid and be confident that you are aware of most of the capabilities of the software.
god bless you man, seriously you are probably the reason i got into web dev to begin with!
Your teaching skill is awesome. Love it, wish I was more involved on the front end and using NoSQL.
Amazing explanations, thank you so much :)!!
Kyle is an alien😀😀😀😀. He knows everything in coding coz i follow this channel
Truly excellent work. I took your mongoDB course as well. You've been such a help generally!!
Nice video Kyle, your were really cooking with this video.
🔥🔥🔥
Nobody covered this topic which is very important. Thank you
This is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched)) The speed of explanation is also fantastic
So focus, right to the point, so didactic and with the perfect timing dude👏👏👏
really looking forward to a Sequelize crash course! once again . awesome job!
Needed this since a long time , many tutorials were a bit outdated. Thank you!
Your speech is rapid for a non-native English speaker, but the information provided is highly valuable.
小伙长的真帅，感谢您的分享，让我快速的了解了mongoose.
Great one. So much content in this half hour video.
Thanks! The mongoose docs are one of the worst I’ve ever seen 😣
Really thankful for this tutorial!
your cheat sheet is extremely helpful ! I recommend it to everyone!! thanks for that free gift ! I'm slowly falling in love here xD keep up the great work!
Perfectly summarized. Good work Kyle
Thanks Kyle for this wonderful Mongoose Crash Course ❣
Your content is the best on the web.
Very straightforward and well-paced guide covering a lot of stuff with explained examples. Thanks a ton!
Literally I was just going to learn mongoose. 💓💕Thanks
again, what a very great lesson. everything you need to get started all packed in this simple short video.
Meeeeeen i learnt a lot and in the space of 33 minutes... wao thanks and God bless you
Thank you man, cool enough to love Mongoose & MongoDB more..!
Thank you so much for your work! Keep up the great effort we all really appreciate it!!!❤❤❤

you are awesome... but you are ultimate fast.. I always appreciate your videos... thanks for sharing
That helped me alot in starting a new project in mongoDB.
this vid saved me a lot of time getting into mongoose, tks!!
Yes!! This is the video I’ve been looking for! Thank you
Just what I have been looking for !
You earned our respect bruh, thank you for this amazing content
I've always appreciate you Kyle. you are really awesome;
Awesome timing bringing this out
18:52 yes thats true it skips all the validations but we can make the content validate using
{new:true, runValidators:true}.
Hello bro, thank you for this. You deserve everything you wish for 👍
heyo is this tutorial working for you because what i have seen is that the callbacks are deprecated in mongoose now.
Yeah, it worked for me. Some things have changed but I was able to rectify it from the docs.
thanks, it was really good and quick overview before interview or even before starting out new project. Keep it up
Damnn! That was a lot of good info just 30 mins! Thanks a ton!
Your videos are amazing brother , Simplified they are!
So well explained! Thank you for this, I can now start using mongoose in my projects!
I was looking for exactly this. Thanks Kyle.
Fantastic effort and work for this video!!
Nice
Thank you, Kyle. That was a really helpful and not a time-consuming tutorial.
next level stuff! this guy is something!
My head just exploded with so much knowledge !
Thanks for the tutorial 👍
Will watch it bunch of times to get all of it.
How do you remember all of it ? (So much information)
I need help. I am getting "const err = new MongooseError(message);" and "MongooseError: Operation `users.insertOne()` buffering timed out after 10000ms". I have not made it passed 6:39 because of this.
Gracias!!!! Estaba luchando con errores, debido a que el curso que estaba siguiendo tenia versiones anteriores, Gracias nuevamente!
The MongoDB cheat sheet is excellent.
You're super duper amazing, Kyle
Perfectly to the point, thanks.
This was really an amazing and insightful video Kyle. Thank you for your efforts.
Can you please make a video on how to connect front-end (using React) with back-end (using Express.js and mongoose). Would really appreciate it.
you can set timestamps : true in schema, it would automatically set createdAt and UpdatedAT
Dang this was a really good tutorial!!!! Well done sir.
This is great. So many other videos just repeat the same stuff over and over ("MongoDB is not an RDB!" Yes, I know, move on please) but never really show you how to do things and what it's useful for.

Man, you're a hero
Very good content covering all the fundamentals of Mongoose. Thanks a lot!
So straightforward, even at the end XD
Thank you very much!
Amazing, it's a full course in half and hour.👍👍👍
Brilliant🌟, you have cleared my concepts
I wish you were my professor in college 😩 better late than never. Thanks for this tutorial! Super helpful!
Just what I've been waiting for!
