Modifying the user model
We don't need much information about a user, so we can reduce the User
schema to only the strictly necessary information. Also, we can add a profile
field, which can hold any extra info about the user, such as social media profile info or other accounts data.
Let's modify the User
schema from app/models/user.js
with the following:
const UserSchema = new Schema({ email: { type: String, required: true, unique: true }, name: { type: String }, password: { type: String, required: true, select: false }, passwordSalt: { type: String, required: true, select: false }, profile: { type: Mixed }, createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now } });
