how to clear mongoDB using mongoose for node.js app

I am trying to clear mongoDB using mongoose. specifically, what I am trying to do is to clear out all data before each test for my node.js app. Let's say I have a db called "User" and in this db have several collections. With given mongoose instance, how do I clear out all data? I have tried searching about this but all the answers did not work for me..

You just need to drop the database. Here is the code that will do it.

function dropDatabase(name, cb) {
    var mongoose = require('mongoose');
    var con = mongoose.createConnection('mongodb://localhost/' + name);
    con.on('connected', function(err) {
        if (!err) {
            con.db.dropDatabase(function(err) {
               cb(err);
            });
        } else {
            cb(err);
        }
    });
};

"name" is the name of the database. You can call it like dropDatabase("User", function(err) {});
