Should I hardcode the "model" of a record in a collection when using a non-relational database?

Question

MongoDB

Good evening! When developing applications on Meteor, I most often hard-code the model for writing to the collection. Is it worth it to do so? Or is it better to untie the hands and leave them as simple objects?
What do you think about this? I know that there is no clear answer to this question, but it would be interesting to read your opinions.

Answer 1

And if tomorrow they ask you to change the database? In my opinion, it is better for the application as a whole not to know anything about the database and work with one tool (model). So you won't have to think about how controllers, views, etc. will react. if something happens to the data.
