JavaScript Build a REST API With Express Modeling Data for the API Default Values in Mongoose

This course is outdated

This course needs to be updated because after using Animal.remove(), I got the following message after testing (node:10154) DeprecationWarning: collection.remove is deprecated. Use deleteOne, deleteMany, or bulkWrite instead. db connection closed

A lot of beginner users will not be able to know whats going on and how to fix it.

I used the 'deleteMany' and it worked.

I'm also getting this warning: (node:16460) DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new parser, pass option { useNewUrlParser: true } to MongoClient.connect.

I agree!

In most cases this is how your connect method should look like

mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/collection_name', { 
    useNewUrlParser: true, 
    useCreateIndex: true,
    useFindAndModify: false
});
