The User-Task Relationship -2

The video tutorial focuses on setting up a task management system with user authentication. It explains how to establish a relationship between users and tasks using Mongoose, ensuring that tasks are associated with their creators. The tutorial covers modifying the task model to include an owner field, implementing authentication middleware, and testing the setup using Postman. It also explores advanced Mongoose features like virtual properties and populate to manage user-task relationships effectively.

What is the primary reason for associating tasks with users?

• To make tasks visible to everyone

• To ensure users can only manage their own tasks

• To allow users to access all tasks

• To simplify the task creation process

Which field is added to the task model to associate it with a user?

• Completed

• Task ID

• Owner

• Description

What is the benefit of using the 'owner' field in the task model?

• It makes tasks visible to all users

• It links tasks to the user who created them

• It allows tasks to be created anonymously

• It simplifies the task deletion process

Why is it important to require an owner for each task?

• To allow anonymous task creation

• To ensure tasks are linked to a specific user

• To make tasks public

• To simplify task updates

What is the purpose of the 'auth' middleware in task creation?

• To authenticate users creating tasks

• To log user actions

• To update task descriptions

• To delete old tasks

How does the 'auth' middleware affect task creation?

• It allows tasks to be created without authentication

• It ensures tasks are associated with authenticated users

• It deletes tasks automatically

• It updates task descriptions

How does the 'populate' method help in managing user-task relationships?

• It deletes tasks

• It fetches user profiles from tasks

• It creates new tasks

• It updates task descriptions

What does the 'populate' method do when used on a task?

• Creates a new task

• Fetches the entire user profile associated with the task

• Updates the task description

• Deletes the task

What is the role of the 'ref' property in Mongoose?

• To log user actions

• To update task descriptions

• To create a reference to another model

• To delete tasks

What is a virtual property in Mongoose?

• A way to log user actions

• A real field stored in the database

• A relationship between two entities not stored in the database

• A method to delete tasks
