--description--
Model.remove()
is useful to delete all the documents matching given criteria.
--instructions--
Modify the removeManyPeople
function to delete all the people whose name is within the variable nameToRemove
, using Model.remove()
. Pass it to a query document with the name
field set, and a callback.
Note: The Model.remove()
doesn’t return the deleted document, but a JSON object containing the outcome of the operation, and the number of items affected. Don’t forget to pass it to the done()
callback, since we use it in tests.
--hints--
Deleting many items at once should succeed
