Not working as expected 🤔

[MestreKarin]

I may be missing something because some of my code is not working as expected. For example:

interface IAccount {
  name: String;
  email: String;
  password: String;
}

const AccountSchema = new Schema<IAccount>();
export const Account = model('account', AccountSchema);

// -- IN ANOTHER FILE --

const createdAccount = await Account.create({
  name: 'Hello World',
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'strong1234'
});

console.log(createdAccount);

// -- OUTPUT --
{ _id: new ObjectId('66c17b5d4a5edf95928b918d'), __v: 0 }

According to the docs this should work, however, none of the properties are saved (I checked with Compass).

I got a strange behavior when selecting too:

const existingAccount = await Account.findOne({ email: '[email protected]' });

console.log(existingAccount);
/*
{
  _id: new ObjectId('66be3f54fff3e68e10d4b06c'),
  name: 'Hello World',
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'strong1234'
}
*/

console.log(existingAccount.name); // --> undefined
console.log(existingAccount.toObject().name); // --> 'Hello World'

const existingAccountTwo = await Account.findOne({ email: '[email protected]' }).lean();

console.log(existingAccountTwo.name); // --> 'Hello World'

Although the docs use .exec(), it makes no difference, I either need to use .lean() or .toObject() to read the document properties.

My node version is v22.0.0 and the mongoose is 8.5.3. I need some light 😔

I ended up using the mongodb driver.

The issue is that your schema is empty: const AccountSchema = new Schema<IAccount>();, you need to define your schema so Mongoose knows which getters to define on your documents
