var app = express();
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var mongooseLogs = require('mongoose-activitylogs');

var BlogPost = new Schema({
    author    : ObjectId,
    title     : String,
    body      : String,
    date      : Date
});

var user = new Schema({
    firstName: String,
    lastName: String,
    password: String,
    email: String  
});

BlogPost.plugin(mongooseLogs, {
       schemaName: "blogpost",
       createAction: "posted",
       updateAction: "updated",
       deleteAction: "removed" 
    }
/*  Your Payload */
 req.body={
    author    : ObjectId,
    title     : "Post Title",
    body      : "Post Body",
    date      :  new Date
    } 
    
app.post('/post', function (req, res) {

/* 
req.user = {
firstName:"jhon",
lastName: "Doe",
password:"UserPassword",
email:"UserEmail" 
}
*/
 var poayload = req.body;
 
 /*
 modifiedBy should be user Object that refer to the current authenticated user 
 who is performing this action. 
 */
 
 payload.modifiedBy = req.user;// or req.session.user;
 var post = new BlogPost(payload);
 post.save();
 
 /* After save a document will be inserted automatically in your activitylogs collection
 your activitylog document would be like :

 {
    "_id" : ObjectId,
    "collectionType" : "blogpost",
    "refereceDocument" : {// object 
                           author    : ObjectId,
                           title     : "Post Title",
                           body      : "Post Body",
                           date      :  new Date
                         };
    "action" : "Posted",
    "loggedBy" : {//object
                           firstName:"jhon",
                           lastName: "Doe",
                           password:"UserPassword",
                           email:"UserEmail" 
                        },,
