Mongoose - operate with documents from an existing DB without knowing the exact schema

I have to connect to a mongo database with mongoose to preform a query. I have done similar before but in that case I defined the schema and the model so I made operations with the exported then required model in the application.

For this task I was provided with the mongoose connection's uri and the collections's name only and I have to make a node app and query the collection.

What is the way to query the collection with mongoose in this case?

Thanks for your help in advance.

You must be good to go with below code.

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
    Schema = mongoose.Schema;

mongoose.connect("uri");

var abcSchema = new Schema({
    strict: false
}, {
    collection: 'collectionName'
});
var abc = mongoose.model('collectionName', abcSchema);
abc.operations...
