• $ne
• $and
• $or
• $in
• $gt
• $sum
• $orderby
• count

Running the Project

• cd into your project directory.
• npm install to receive your dependencies.
• fire up your mongod server from your root dir or create a data dir in this project to store your documents from mongo there. mongod --dbpath data.

Mongoose Schema

• When you open models.js you'll see we've already included your Schema. You're welcome.
• You'll also notice that this sprint comes with a people.json file, and a populateDbScript.js. this script will grab those people and add them into your db as long as you have your mongo server up and running.
• RUN: node populateDbScript.js get receive all your data.
• If everything worked you should have received a console message "done", if this didn't print, you may have a flaw somewhere.

NOTE After populate script is done

• Now after you have populated your DB, head into a new command window and RUN: mongo to open up the mongo shell.
  • RUN: show dbs to list all the databases you have available to you.
  • You should see a DB called people. RUN: use people and then show collections
  • NOTE: In our models.js file we named our model 'Person' but.. our collection is a collection of 'people' Mongoose went ahead and assumed you'd like this. Pretty clever.. I think!

Todos:

• write a GET request to /users that simply returns all the people.
• write a GET request to /users/:direction that takes the given string and returns back a list of sorted data alphebetically.
  • hint direction can be asc or desc so in your .sort() method you'll have to conditionally check, and we are going to be sorting by user firstName
• write a GET request /user-get-friends/:id that returns a single users's friends.

Extra Credit:

• lastly write a PUT that updates a users firstName lastName
