    Definitely not comprehensive. This is meant to be a basic memory aid with links to get more details. I'll add to it over time.
Install

$ npm install mongoose --save

Connect

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const uri = process.env.MONGO_URI || 'mongodb://localhost/test';

mongoose.connect(uri, function(err, res) {
  ...
});

Defining a schema

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: {
    first: String,
    last: { type: String, trim: true }
  },
  age: { type: Number, min: 0 },
  posts: [ { title: String, url: String, date: Date } ],
  updated: { type: Date, default: Date.now }
});

Notes

Mixed types and dates that are modified using JavaScript Date methods are not hooked into mongoose change tracking logic. To save changes, let mongoose know about them using markModified('path') before calling save.
Instantiating a model

A model is a constructor compiled from a schema. Model instances represent documents.
const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);

var u = new User({
  name: {
    first: 'Tony',
    last: 'Pujals'
  },
  age: 99
});
