Cannot see the data in mongo db

This is how I insert data to a mongo db:

router.post('/', function (req, res, next) {
    var email = req.body.email;
    var user = new User({
        firsName: 'Juan',
        lastName: 'Dela Cruz',
        password: 'super-secret',
        email: email
    });
    user.save();
    res.redirect('/');
});

This is how I connect:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var appRoutes = require('./routes/app');

var app = express();
// mongoose.connect('localhost:27017/node-angular');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/node-angular');

This is how I create my schema:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var mongooseUniqueValidator = require('mongoose-unique-validator');

var schema = new Schema({
    firstName: {type: String, required: true},
    lastName: {type: String, required: true},
    password: {type: String, required: true},
    email: {type: String, required: true, unique: true},
    messages: [{type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Message'}]
});

schema.plugin(mongooseUniqueValidator);

module.exports = mongoose.model('User', schema);

I start the mongodb with this command in the command prompt with administrative privileges:

'C:\WINDOWS\system32>"C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\4.0\bin\mongo.exe"'

then I try to access it using this command:

use node-angular

switched to db node-angular

db.users.find()

but I don't get the data in the database. I don't even know if I have successfully updated my database. can you please show me how to this right? Thank you.

Everything is fine. You just need to change the collection name's first letter to upper-case.

Instead of,

db.users.find();

Use 

db.Users.find();

Hope it helps...

save function has a callback. Try using that and check if there is some error that can be traced. You can do something like this.

user.save(function (err) { 
    if (err) return handleError(err); 
    // saved!
  });
