Backend : Create User schema

[vijayjoshi16]

Problem/Context

Once the folder structure for the back-end is created and some basic boilerplate code is added, we start the back-end development part and create some APIs and work with data which we retrieve from or add into the database. To work with the database, we initially create a skeleton/blueprint of what the related data should look like for eg. what all fields should be there in the details of all the users, questions, etc and what should be their data types and so on. Schema does this task for us hence we need a blueprint for the user details written in the form of a schema.

Description

Create a mongoose schema for the user details which will contain the fields:

• Name - String
• Email id - String
• Password - String(hashed password using bcryptjs)
• Year/sem - Number
• College - String
• friends - array(initially empty) of ObjectIds which will look into the 'User' model specified in the ref option.

Some other fields such as questions asked, answers given, etc can be added later when the schema for questions is created so the user schema is subject to changes in the future.
