In this lesson, we focus on implementing a new feature called collections that allow users to bookmark or favorite specific questions. This involves creating a new database model to manage these collections effectively.
collection.model.ts.types.ObjectId for both the author and question fields.00:00:02 Let's implement the collection model.
00:00:04 Remember how we had tags not that long ago?
00:00:07 Well, now we're going to implement collections.
00:00:10 Collections allow you to store or bookmark or favorite specific questions.
00:00:16 You see this star?
00:00:17 That's it.
00:00:18 It allows you to start it and add it to your collection.
00:00:21 So let's implement it by creating a new database model called collection.model.ts.
00:00:28 Let's copy the template model into the collection model.
00:00:32 And let's simply change this name from model to collection.
00:00:38 Great.
00:00:39 Now let's define it.
00:00:41 It'll be super straightforward.
00:00:42 The only thing we need to keep track of is the author, meaning who is adding it to the collection.
00:00:49 That's going to be a schema.types, come on Copilot, learn it already, with a reference to a user and required to set the true.
00:00:58 And the question as well, which is going to be a reference to a question.
00:01:04 Great.
00:01:05 Good boy, GitHub Copilot.
00:01:06 Finally, let's define the type.
00:01:09 Author will be set to types.ObjectId and question will be types.ObjectId as well.
00:01:16 Great.
