Mongodb type reference node

Question

I am trying reference another object in a model in node,

User = new Schema({
        username: {
            type: String,
            index: {unique: true}
             


        

Answer 1

I found out the answer to my own question here it is.

User = new Schema({
    username: {
        type: String,
        index: {unique: true}
    }
});

Idea = new Schema({
    Creator: {
        type: Schema.ObjectId,
        ref: 'User'
    }
});
