How to delay the creation of a document for a day in mongodb?

Question

JavaScript

I found that mongo has TTL indexes, but I don’t understand how to use them to create a document. It is possible to postpone the creation of the document somehow through nodejs. But if you do it by means of setTimeout, will there be any lags? Because many operations will have to be postponed. How is it right in mongodb to postpone the creation of a document for a day?

Answer 1

You can put the document in another collection with the time specified. Then periodically check the time, if it has come up, copy the document to the desired collection.
