Simon Holmes

Simon Holmes started his journey as a web developer in the late 1990s. He built his first website for a project at university and soon saw what the industry had to offer when he promptly sold it! Following university, Simon worked his way through the ranks of design agency life, learning the skills of becoming a full-stack web developer. From server management and database design to building dynamic UIs from Photoshop files, it all fell under Simon's remit. Having witnessed first-hand the terrible JavaScript code so prevalent in the early 2000s, Simon is very much enjoying its resurgence as a powerful, structured language. Simon now works in SaaS, which is very heavy on the JavaScript.

Summary


In this chapter, we've seen how to use Mongoose to maintain the data integrity of our application. We have learned about the default validators that are available, and also learned how to use them and how to create custom validators. Within the custom validators, we've covered how to send custom error messages, add multiple validators, and run asynchronous validation. We also took a look at the error object returned when your validators find a problem with the data.

Coming up in the next chapter, we're going to take a look at complex schemas, including nested documents and referencing other schemas.
