We are going to use all the three- get, put, and post parameters in this video. Step 1: We do a Post request to create a new wishlist. app.post('/wishlist',function(request, response){ error message }); If the new wishlist is found it will display "wishlist" else "could not find wishlist". Step 2: We do a get request to find the list of Wishlists present in our collection I.e. product. app.get('/wishlist',function(request,response) { }); Step 3: we do a put request to add new data to the newly created wishlist and check the data in Postman. app.put('/wishlist/product/add', function(request, response){ }); Check it in POSTMAN. Step 4: Populate the data In the get request, modify the statement into app.get('/wishlist',function(request,response) { wishlist.find({}).populate({path:'product', model:'product'}) exec(function(err,wishlist{ error message})); populate() function in mongoose is used for populating the data inside the reference.
