We have created a models folder in the root project directory. In this folder, we will create all the models for our application. Start creating the team.js file in the src/models folders:

$ touch src/models/team.js

Remember that we use the touch command to create a new file. Then, open this file, and from the src/config/mongoose-connection.js file, cut the following lines and copy them into the src/models/team.js file, as follows:

const mongoose = require('mongoose')

const TeamSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    name: {
      type: String,
      min: 3,
      max: 100,
      required: true,
      unique: true
    },
    ranking: {
      type: Number,
      min: 1
    },
    captain: {
      type: String,
      required: true
    },
    Trainer: {
      type: String,
      required: true
    },
    confederation: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      uppercase: true
    }
  })

  module.exports = mongoose.model('team', TeamSchema)

We just need to isolate the TeamSchema definition, and we are exporting the model created by mongoose to be accessed later by the Rest Controller. Be sure that your src/config/mongoose-connection file looks like the following:

const mongoose = require('mongoose')
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:32768/wcDb', { useMongoClient: true })
mongoose.Promise = global.Promise

mongoose.connection.on('connected',() => {
  console.log('connection is ready')
})

mongoose.connection.on('error', err => {
  console.log(err)
})

Cool! So far, so good. Now it is time to implement our Rest Controller.
