Description

In this challenge you will have to create and save a record of a model.

Instructions

Create a document instance using the Person constructor you built before. Pass to the constructor an object having the fields name, age, and favoriteFoods. Their types must conform to the ones in the Person Schema. Then call the method document.save() on the returned document instance. Pass to it a callback using the Node convention. This is a common pattern, all the following CRUD methods take a callback function like this as the last argument.

/* Example */

// ...
person.save(function(err, data) {
  //   ...do your stuff here...
});

Tests

tests:
  - text: Creating and saving a db item should succeed
    testString: 'getUserInput => $.get(getUserInput(''url'') + ''/_api/create-and-save-person'').then(data => { assert.isString(data.name, ''"item.name" should be a String''); assert.isNumber(data.age, ''28'', ''"item.age" should be a Number''); assert.isArray(data.favoriteFoods, ''"item.favoriteFoods" should be an Array''); assert.equal(data.__v, 0, ''The db item should be not previously edited''); }, xhr => { throw new Error(xhr.responseText); })'
