Creating methods to update & save documents with mongoose?

Question

After checking out the official documentation, I am still not sure on how to create methods for use within mongoose to create & update documents.

So how can I do this?

I have something like this in mind:

mySchema.statics.insertSomething = function insertSomething () {     return this.insert(() ? }

From inside a static method, you can also create a new document by doing :

schema.statics.createUser = function(callback) {   var user = new this();   user.phone_number = "jgkdlajgkldas";   user.save(callback); };
