How to access a preexisting collection with Mongoose?

by

Mongoose added the ability to specify the collection name under the schema, or as the third argument when declaring the model. Otherwise it will use the pluralized version given by the name you map to the model.

Try something like the following, either schema-mapped:

new Schema({ url: String, text: String, id: Number}, 
           { collection : 'question' });   // collection name

or model mapped:

mongoose.model('Question', 
               new Schema({ url: String, text: String, id: Number}), 
               'question');     // collection name
