const userRegistrationSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
mobile: {
type: Number, trim: true,
},
email: {
type: String, lowercase: true, trim: true
},
// email Varification
verified: {
type: Boolean,
},

mobile: 9561300851
email: "skcoder510@gmail.com"
verified: false
I hope I have explained my problem then how to do it.
MongoDB supports documents deletion only after a certain time using TTL. However for field deletion what you can do is after using the OTP you can remove the field using $unset.
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/operator/update/unset/
Or, you can create scheduler which will run after certain time and remove all the used OTP field using $unset.
AFAIK MongoDB only supports TTL on documents, not on fields: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/index-ttl/
You could consider creating a separate OTP schema that has a TTL index of 5 minutes. The relevant Mongoose documentation can be found here: https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#schemadateoptions_SchemaDateOptions-expires
