Mongoose not inserting into MongoDB properly

Question

Mongoose not inserting into MongoDB properly

When I run this code in my node script, for some reason when I check the db using db.test.find(), nothing shows up. Any clues?

  var mongoose = require('mongoose');
  var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');
  var Schema = mongoose.Schema,
    ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;
  UserSchema = new Schema({
  'title': { type: String, index: true },
  });
  var User = mongoose.model('user', UserSchema);
  var user = new User();
  user.title = "TEST TITLE";
  user.save();

Thanks guys

You need to use the database 'test' in the console. Why test? because you're telling it to in this line:

var db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');

Console:

> use test

Also with mongoose; it pluralizes the collection, so its saving it into "users".

> db.users.find()
