Mongoose model.create() responds empty or do not responde - node.js

Question

I created a small project with node+express+mongodb
This is where i call the create user:
const express = require("express");
const User = require("../models/user");
const router = express.Router();
router.post("/register", async (req, res) => {
try {
const user = await User.create(req.body);
return res.send({ user });
} catch (e) {
return res.status(400).send({ error: "Registration failed" });
}
});
module.exports = app => app.use("/auth", router);
and here is the Schema for the user:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
require: true
},
email: {
type: String,
require: true,
unique: true,
lowercase: true
},
password: {
type: String,
require: true,
select: false
},
createdAt: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now
}
});
const User = mongoose.model("User", UserSchema);
module.exports = User;
But when o make the resquest, it nevers get a response, it waits forever. And when o take out the await from the request, it gets an empty response { "user": {}}
I'm kind lost looking the mongoose documentation (the ideia is to make a simple rest api, i'm used with python, but looking to learn node)

Answer 1

You have to create a new user from User Model as follows:
const express = require("express");
const User = require("../models/user");
const router = express.Router();
router.post("/register", async (req, res) => {
try {
var user = new User(request.body);
var result = await user.create();
return res.send({ result });
} catch (e) {
return res.status(400).send({ error: "Registration failed" });
}
});
module.exports = app => app.use("/auth", router);
