Can't query mongoDB with mongoose in node.js

Question

Suppose I have a collection in my mongoDB: db.co and only have one document:

{ \"_id\" : ObjectId(\"50d083e32cdcf7ce065b616c\"), 
  \"age\" : 22         


        

Answer 1

Mongoose pluralizes the lower-cased model name when determining the collection name to use. So with a model name of 'Co' it's going to be looking in the cos collection by default.

To override the default and align with your existing co collection:

var Co = mongoose.model('Co', coSchema, 'co');
