Answer 1

You can set the timestamps property to true when defining a Schema and mongoose will add a createdAt and updatedAt field for you. Mongoose will also update the updatedAt field for you when you do any update operation.

var schema = new Schema({
    // ... Schema properties
}, {
    timestamps: true
});
