Example 1: mongoose reference another model
var mongoose = require('mongoose')
, Schema = mongoose.Schema
var eventSchema = Schema({
title : String,
location : String,
startDate : Date,
endDate : Date
});
var personSchema = Schema({
firstname: String,

gender: {type: String, enum: ["Male", "Female"]}
dob: Date,

eventsAttended: [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Event' }]
});
var Event = mongoose.model('Event', eventSchema);
var Person = mongoose.model('Person', personSchema);

author.save(function (err) {
if (err) return handleError(err);
const story1 = new Story({

});
story1.save(function (err) {
if (err) return handleError(err);
});
});
