Mongoose returns Mongo object, but can't access property on it
i recommend you use autoincrement mongoose plugin, somthing like this
var mongoose = require('mongoose');var autoIncrement = require('mongoose-auto-increment');var connection = mongoose.createConnection("mongodb://localhost/db");autoIncrement.initialize(connection);var GameSchema = { "gameId": {type: Number}, "gameNickname": {type: String}}GameSchema.plugin(autoIncrement.plugin, { model: 'Game', field: 'gameId' });mongoose.model('Game', GameSchema);after this you can save your game with autoinc, for example:
var Game = mongoose.model('Game');
function createNewGame(nickname){ return new Game({gameNickname: nickname}).save(function(err, res){ console.log(res); //some code... })}after execute this code you should have somnthing like this:
{ _id: "555d83d5bb0d4e3c352d896f", gameNickname: "nickname", gameId: 1}
