Generate Mongoose Schema for MongoDB Collections
Use this AI prompt to generate MongoDB Mongoose schemas with validation, indexes, timestamps, and references between collections for scalable data modeling.
🧠 What This Prompt Does
This prompt helps you generate a complete MongoDB schema using Mongoose.
It includes field types, default values, validation rules, and timestamps — ideal for rapid data modeling.
💬 The Prompt
You are a MongoDB expert.
Generate a Mongoose schema for the given collection.
Requirements:
- Include data types, validation, and required fields
- Add timestamps and indexes
- Support relationships via ObjectId references
- Provide model export
Collection:
{{collection_name}}
⚙️ Example Input
{
"collection_name": "User with fields name, email, password, role, and posts reference"
}
🚀 Example Output (AI Generated)
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
{
name: { type: String, required: true, trim: true },
email: { type: String, required: true, unique: true },
password: { type: String, required: true },
role: { type: String, enum: ['admin', 'user'], default: 'user' },
posts: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Post' }],
},
{ timestamps: true }
);
userSchema.index({ email: 1 });
export default mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
📘 When to Use This Prompt
- While setting up new MongoDB models.
- When normalizing or restructuring data schemas.
- To ensure strong data typing and validation.
💡 Best Practices
- Use
trimandlowercasefor text normalization. - Add unique indexes for frequently queried fields.
- Use
reffor relationships instead of embedding when scalable. - Enable
{ timestamps: true }for consistent audit tracking.
🏁 Summary
This prompt generates production-ready Mongoose schemas for MongoDB, ensuring clean, validated, and scalable data structures.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I enable timestamps in Mongoose?
Add `{ timestamps: true }` in the schema options to automatically manage createdAt and updatedAt fields.
Can Mongoose handle relationships?
Yes. Use ObjectId references between schemas for relational-like behavior.
Is it necessary to define indexes manually?
You can define them in schema fields or using `.index()` for performance-critical queries.
