remove document

const cap = {
color: Yellow,
size: 'G',
brand: Nike,
_id: '123'
}

const capRemoved = await Cap.findByIdAndDelete(cap._id)

// capRemoved = { _id: objectId(''), color: Yellow,size: G, brand:Nike }

Find specific document

const cap = {
color: Yellow,
size: 'G',
brand: Nike,
_id: '123'
}

const capDb = await Cap.findById(cap._id)

// or 

const capDb = await Cap.findOne({color: Yellow, size: 'G'})

// capDb = { _id: objectId(''), color: Yellow,size: G, brand:Nike }
