Looking for Mongoose "hello world" example

Question

I've been trying to create a database/model with Mongoose which is basically just a user database where the username is unique. Sounds simple enough, but for some reason I've been unable to do so.

What I've got so far is this:

var mongoose = require('mongoose').Mongoose,
    db = mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/db');

mongoose.model('User', {
    properties: [
        'name',
        'age'
    ],

    cast: {
        name: String,
        age: Number
    },

    //indexes: [[{name:1}, {unique:true}]],
    indexes: [
        'name'
    ]
    /*,
    setters: {},
    getters: {},
    methods: {}
    */
});    

var User = db.model('User');

var u = new User();
u.name = 'Foo';

u.save(function() {
    User.find().all(function(arr) {
        console.log(arr);
        console.log('length='+arr.length);
    });
});
/*User.remove({}, function() {});*/

It just doesn't work. The database is created alright, but the username is not unique. Any help or knowledge of what I'm doing wrong?

I'm having the same problem, unique index is not working for me either. I opened an issue, though: http://github.com/LearnBoost/mongoose/issues#issue/56
