# Adding documents to a collection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have our database (`playground`) and collection (`courses`) established. We now need to add documents to our collection. We will do this via a function since this will be an asynchronous process:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const pythonCourse = new Course({
|
||
|
|
name: "Python Course",
|
||
|
|
author: "Terry Ogleton",
|
||
|
|
tags: ["python", "backend"],
|
||
|
|
isPublished: true,
|
||
|
|
});
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
async function addCourseDocToDb(courseDocument) {
|
||
|
|
try {
|
||
|
|
const result = await courseDocument.save();
|
||
|
|
console.log(result);
|
||
|
|
} catch (err) {
|
||
|
|
console.error(err.message);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
addCourseDocToDb(nodeCourse);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When we run this, we call the `save` method on the Mongoose schema. We will then have the Mongo document outputted to the console:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
name: 'Python Course',
|
||
|
|
author: 'Terry Ogleton',
|
||
|
|
tags: [ 'python' ],
|
||
|
|
isPublished: true,
|
||
|
|
_id: new ObjectId("62f4ac989d2fec2f01596b9b"),
|
||
|
|
date: 2022-08-11T07:15:36.978Z,
|
||
|
|
__v: 0
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
