Create Client and Product Schema - NodeJS and MongoDB

Hello, people of Hive, in this guide we will see how to keep updating our NodeJS so we can interact with our MongoDB in a better way, in this case, I will use 2 common schemas that we can relate to all kinds of projects, also we are making the create function and the endpoints file.

We will start with the models, we have a Client.js file, where we import mongoose, the same as we did in the last guide in the server.js, and we declare a const schema, we create a new schema with the name ClientSchema inside we declare with key-valor logic same as JSON, we can see here name and other attributes, and we have the value right here we don't put a value we declare the type, so we later can fill that value with that data type.

We make the same for Product.js this is like creating a Table in SQL if you think that way, we use the same logic, and we export a module with a mongoose.model and with the product schema we created.

Now we will create the controller for the product, here we import the model we just created, and we create a new function called createProduct, this will require the attributes/variables we declared before in the model, with the syntax you see here, we also use product.save to save in the database.

We make the same for the Client controller, we can see in the client.save that we are using JSON as the format to send the data, we can also see that we need to export all the functions like createClient with module.exports

We will end creating a file called Endpoints.js where we will have the routers, right now we will create just 2 with the functions we made for creating product and client, we import both controllers, and we create router.post in this case to call both functions as we can see here:

In the next posts, we will keep expanding the functions and we will start interacting with the Database right now we already have created both models and controllers for the product and client, you can also change anything about the code this is kind of generic so you can easily change it if you need to use MongoDB or NodeJS.
