JavaScript User Authentication With Express and Mongo User Registration Defining a Mongo Schema with Mongoose

mongoose.Schema() vs. new mongoose.Schema()

Hi!

I have been learning a lot about mongoose. I have looked at a lot of peoples code, and I noticed that some people use:

var mySchema = mongoose.Schema({


});

Where as some others (including Dave) use:

var mySchema = new mongoose.Schema({


});

I know this is just a small change but I was wondering if this would make any differences.

Thanks! :)
