The issue is that I have two Mongoose schema models - user and movie. A single movie will not be accessible for each user, so in the movie model I made a reference to the user as an array. On the frontend the user will have available a list of all his films. Additionally, I would like each user among the videos available to them to have the option to like a particular video.

I tried to add another reference in the user model with an array of favorite movies, but this solution seems too complicated when I try to implement this on the frontend. Do any of you have an idea how to do it better? I also thought to add a Boolean value by adding an isFavorite field to the movie model, but then all users would see that movie as favorite.

Movie Schema:

const movieSchema = mongoose.Schema(
  {
    user: [
      {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        required: true,
        ref: 'User',
      },
    ],
    name: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
    },
    url: {
      type: String,
    },
}

User Schema:

const userSchema = mongoose.Schema(
  {
    name: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
    },
    password: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
    },
    email: {
      type: String,
      required: true,
      unique: true,
    },
}
