can shell commands use in mongoose directly?

[RifeWang]

If i have some data defined in mongoDB , i can get documents in shell through db.mycollection.find(), my question is can i write the same command db.mycollection.find() as a param through a function and then get the result , and do i have to use schema or model?

Sorry, I'm a bit confused about what you're asking. I think you're asking can you pass in mongo shell parameters to mongoose queries. If so, the answer is yes. Here's an example:

mongodb shell command

db.users.update({ _id: someRandomId }, { $addToSet: { 'data.cars': 'Audi' })

mongoose function

User.update({ _id: someRandomId }, { $addToSet: { 'data.cars': ' } })
    .then(...)
    .catch(...);

You have to use a model (not a schema, models are created from schemas).

@varunjayaraman I mean that i like mongojs's API that emulates the official mongodb API as much as possible , model and schema doesn't exit in official mongodb API , but i have to operate mongodb through model in mongoose, but i think i have a little understand about that way.
