How can I save and get a saved object

[quick007]

Hi, I'm trying to be able to make a model then save that model. Heres my code:

let Homepage: mongoose.Model<mongoose.Document<any>>;

  if (!mongoose.models.Homepage) {
    const homepageSchema = new Schema({
      configured: Boolean,
        forums: {
          type: Map,
          of: Object
        },
        description: String,
        store: Boolean,
        storeLink: String,
        website: Boolean,
        websiteLink: String,
        custom: Boolean,
        customName: String,
        customLink: String, 
        orgName: String
    })
    Homepage = mongoose.model('Homepage', homepageSchema)
  }
  const orgName = new Homepage({ configured: false });
  await orgName.save()
  
  return res.status(200).json(await mongoose.get('Homepage'))

It's erroring all over the place (but no vscode errors strangely). How can I accomplish this? Also if you can show me a way where I can overwrite that, that would be great. (Like where I can plug in json values and it would edit the value in the schema, like db.set( {description: "test"} ))

What are you trying to do with await mongoose.get('Homepage')? mongoose.get() is a function for getting the current value of a global object.

Maybe you're just trying to do return res.status(200).json(orgName), or return res.status(200).json(await Homepage.findById(orgName))?

This is what I want to do, how can I make a global object? I can't find any docs on it.

Nevermind, thanks all!

That works, but it keeps spamming my database (see image below). How can I save something then get back that same thing I saved in the database?

Heres my code:

  Homepage = mongoose.model('Homepage', homepageSchema)
  const orgName = new Homepage({ configured: true });
  await orgName.save()
  
  return res.status(200).json(await Homepage.findById(orgName))

findOneAndUpdate():

You should be able to do

const orgName = await Homepage.create({ configured: true })
return res.status(200).json(orgName)
