Setting up the email property

The first thing I'm going to do is make a variable to store this new model, a variable called User, and I'm going to set that equal to mongoose.model, which is how we can make our new User model. The first argument, as you know, needs to be the string model name. I'm going to use the exact same name as I specified over in the variable, although it could be different. I just like to keep things using this pattern, where the variable equals the model name. Next up, as the second argument, we can specify the object where we configure all the properties a User should have.

var User = mongoose.model('User', {

});

Now as I mentioned previously, we'll be adding others later, but for now, adding support for an email ...
