## Description
|
||
<section id='description'>
|
||
<code>Model.remove()</code> is useful to delete all the documents matching given criteria.
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
## Instructions
|
||
<section id='instructions'>
|
||
Delete all the people whose name is “Mary”, using <code>Model.remove()</code>. Pass it to a query document with the <code>name</code> field set, and of course a callback.
|
||
<strong>Note:</strong> The <code>Model.remove()</code> doesn’t return the deleted document, but a JSON object containing the outcome of the operation, and the number of items affected. Don’t forget to pass it to the <code>done()</code> callback, since we use it in tests.
