Hello I&#39;m new with backend development since i&#39;m more UI Design and I&#39;m trying to explore and learn backend stuff for javascript which is Express.JS for Rest API to build my side projects.
I have a question how do you create your Database Design? Since it&#39;s NoSQL. since i&#39;m only familiar with SQL like PostgreSQL. I&#39;m trying to build an api for Restaurant listing.
Here is my things this is based from ruby on rails
<pre><code>Restaurant (has_many -&gt; )Collection 'it's like Best Ramen in City'
Location (has_many -&gt; )Restaurants
Restaurant (has_one -&gt; )MenuList
Menu (has_many -&gt; )MenuItem
</code></pre>and more. I already try with the mongoose populate but i&#39;m not sure i&#39;m right. something like this
<code>collections [{ Type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: restaurant }]</code> 
If you are willing to give a tips or give me an insights for this. You can post your answer here sorry if my english and grammar are correct :)
