Passing model parameters into a mongoose model

Question

I have a mongoose model that has an association with a user model e.g.

var exampleSchema = mongoose.Schema({
   name: String,
   
           


        

Answer 1

Since Node 8.3, you can also use Object Spread syntax.

var model = new Example({ ...req.body, userId: req.user._id });

Note that order matters, with later values overriding previous ones.
