Writing code to run database functions

Backend Development

Im a bit confused if i am writing code and using mongoose how do i write code so the following database insertion will be performed?


const createAndSavePerson = (done) => {
  let carlSee = new Person({name: "Carl See", age: 34, favoriteFoods: ["eggs", "steak", "bread"]});
  
   carlSee.save(function(err, data) {
    if (err) return console.error(err);
     console.log("Document inserted succussfully! :" + data);
    done(null, data)
  });

};

myApp.js - boilerplate-mongomongoose (2) - Replit

I don’t understand the question. Are you asking why/how the code works?

I want to write code that performs the database insertion without running the tests

You call the function and provide it with the done callback.

createAndSavePerson((err, data) => {
  if (err) console.error(err);
  console.log(data);
});

Alright thanks i didn’t realize i needed a callback to call the function since there is already a callback in the function itself

I have tried calling the model find function using the following but i dont get any results in the console.


findPeopleByName("Frankie", (err, data) => {
    if (err) return console.error(err);
  console.log(data)
    
});

Nevermind its because i never reran the function to insert many people i just assumed they were already in the database
