HTTP post request parameters doesn't change default values of Mongoose schema - node.js

Question

I created two Mongoose schemas and want to test them with Postman.
When I send a post HTTP request my parameters doesn't change the default value from the AnimalSchema nor does at StorySchema.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var AnimalSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {type : String, default: ""},
audio: {type : String, default: ""},
image: {type : String, default: ""}
});
mongoose.model('Animal', AnimalSchema);
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var Animal = mongoose.model('Animal');
var Story = mongoose.model('Story');
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
});
router.get('/animals', function(req, res, next){
Animal.find(function(err, animals){
if(err){
return next(err);
}
res.json(animals);
});
});
router.post('/animals', function(req, res, next){
var animal = new Animal(req.body);
animal.save(function(err,animal){
if(err){return next(err);}
res.json(animal);
});
});
router.get('/stories', function(req, res, next){
Story.find(function(err, stories){
if(err){return next(err);}
res.json(stories);
});
});
router.post('/stories', function(req, res, next){
var story = new Story(req.body);
story.save(function(err, story){
if(err){return next(err);}
res.json(story)
});
});
module.exports = router;
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var favicon = require('serve-favicon');
var logger = require('morgan');
var cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
// connect MongoDB
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/stuckyToys', function(err,db){
if (!err){
console.log('Connected to /stuckyToys!');
} else{
console.dir(err); //failed to connect
}
});
require('./models/Animals');
require('./models/Stories');
var routes = require('./routes/index');
var users = require('./routes/users');
// view engine setup
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.set('view engine', 'ejs');
// uncomment after placing your favicon in /public
//app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public', 'favicon.ico')));
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
app.use('/', routes);
app.use('/users', users);
// catch 404 and forward to error handler
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
var err = new Error('Not Found');
err.status = 404;
next(err);
});
// error handler
app.use(function(err, req, res, next) {
// set locals, only providing error in development
res.locals.message = err.message;
res.locals.error = req.app.get('env') === 'development' ? err : {};
// render the error page
res.status(err.status || 500);
res.render('error');
});
module.exports = app;
I think I made an error in my app.js file. But not sure where it is.
Anyone knows what I did wrong?

Answer 1

I would do something like
{*(Model)}.findById(id, function(err, animal) {
if (err) console.log(err);
{update new values here in animal with the ones you are receiving in the request}
animal.save(function(err) {
if (err) console.log(err);
});
});
