I'm trying to make an app with the MERN Stack, just for practice. What I want to do is an "eCommerce Maker", where the user can create his eCommerce only saving his products and categories. Some time ago I did the same thing in firebase, there i had a collection with an id per eCommerce, this collection had subcollections for categories with products inside. I want to do the same with MongoDB, I don't know a lot of MongoDB, but I came with two "solutions".</p> <ol> <li><p>Store all the business information (products, categories, etc) in a single document.</p></li> <li><p>Store businesses in a collection, create a "global" collection for categories, and reference the categories in the business collection.</p></li> </ol> <p>What solution do you recommend me to use? I'm new at this. Thanks!</p> <p>PD: Sorry for my English, I'm from Argentina xd</p> mongodb node database help
