Model with the Mongoose schema

Now, let's create our model, using the Mongoose schema to map our speakers on MongoDB.

// Import the Mongoose module.
var mongoose     = require('mongoose');
var Schema       = mongoose.Schema;

// Set the data types, properties and default values to our Schema.
var SpeakerSchema   = new Schema({
    name:           { type: String, default: '' },
    company:        { type: String, default: '' },
    title:          { type: String, default: '' },
    description:    { type: String, default: '' },
    picture:        { type: String, default: '' },
    schedule:       { type: String, default: '' },
    createdOn:      { type: Date,   default: Date.now}
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Speaker', SpeakerSchema);

Note that on the first line, we added the Mongoose module using the require() function.
