This post is a sequel to Getting Started With MongoDB, Node.js, and Restify. We’ll now guide you through the steps needed to modify your API by introducing Mongoose. If you have not yet created the base application, please head back and read the original tutorial.
In this post, we’ll do a deep dive into how to integrate Mongoose, a popular ODM (Object -Document Mapper) for MongoDB, into a simple Restify API. Mongoose is similar to an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) you would use with a relational database. Both ODMs and ORMs can make your life easier with built-in structure and methods. The structure of an ODM or ORM will contain business logic that helps you organize data. The built-in methods of an ODM or ORM automate common tasks that help you communicate with the native drivers, which helps you work more quickly and efficiently.
