+## MongooseJS Typescript Docs
+Below are some examples of how to use these Definitions.<br>
+Scenarios where the Typescript code is identical to plain Javascript code are omitted.
+
+#### Mongoose Methods, Properties, Constructors
+You can call methods from the mongoose instance using:
+```
+import * as mongoose from 'mongoose';
+var MyModel = mongoose.model(...);
+var MySchema: mongoose.Schema = new mongoose.Schema(...);
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can import individual names and call them:
+```
+import {model, Schema} from 'mongoose';
+var MyModel = model(...);
+var MySchema: Schema = new Schema(...):
+```
+
+
+#### Creating and Saving Documents
+```
+import {Document, model, Model, Schema} from 'mongoose';
+
+var UserSchema: Schema = new Schema({
+  username: {
+    type: String,
+    required: true,
+    unique: true
+  },
+  age: Number,
+  friends: [String],
+  data: [Schema.Types.Mixed]
+});
+
+interface IUser extends Document {
+  username: string;
+  age: number;
+  friends: string[];
+  data: any[];
+}
+
+var UserModel: Model<IUser> = mongoose.model<IUser>('User', UserSchema);
+
+var user = new UserModel({name: 'Jane'});
+user.username;     // IUser properties are available
+user.save();       // mongoose Document methods are available
+
+UserModel.findOne({}, (err: any, user: IUser) => {
+  user.username;   // IUser properties are available
+  user.save();     // mongoose Document methods are available
+});
+```
+
+#### Instance Methods and Virtual Properties
+```
+import {Document, model, Model, Schema} from 'mongoose';
+
+var UserSchema: Schema = new Schema({
+  name: String
+});
+
+UserSchema.methods.method1 = function () { return '' };
+UserSchema.virtual('nameInCaps').get(function () {
+  return this.name.toUpperCase();
+});
+UserSchema.virtual('nameInCaps').set(function (caps) {
+  this.name = caps.toLowerCase();
+});
+
+interface IUser extends Document {
+  name: string;
+  nameInCaps: string;
+  method1: () => string;
+}
+
+var UserModel: Model<IUser> = model<IUser>('User', UserSchema);
+var user = new UserModel({name: 'Billy'});
+
+user.method1();     // IUser methods are available
+user.nameInCaps;    // virtual properties can be used
+
+UserModel.findOne({}, (err: any, user: IUser) => {
+  user.method1();   // IUser methods are available
+  user.nameInCaps;  // virtual properties can be used
+});
+```
+
+#### Static Methods
+```
+import {Document, model, Model, Schema} from 'mongoose';
+
+var UserSchema = new Schema({});
+UserSchema.statics.static1 = function () { return '' };
+
+interface IUserDocument extends Document {...}
+interface IUserModel extends Model<IUserDocument> {
+  static1: () => string;
+}
+
+var UserModel: IUserModel = model<IUser, IUserModel>('User', UserSchema);
+UserModel.static1();    // static methods are available
+```
+
+#### Plugins
+To write definitions for plugins, extend the mongoose module and create a simple plugin module:
+```
+// plugin.d.ts
+declare module 'mongoose' {
+  export interface PassportLocalDocument {...}
+  export interface PassportLocalSchema extends Schema {...}
+  export interface PassportLocalModel<T extends PassportLocalDocument> extends Model<T> {...}
+  ...
+}
+
+declare module 'passport-local-mongoose' {
+  import mongoose = require('mongoose');
+  var _: (schema: mongoose.Schema, options?: Object) => void;
+  export = _;
+}
+
+// user.ts
+import {
+  model,
+  PassportLocalDocument,
+  PassportLocalSchema,
+  PassportLocalModel
+  Schema
+} from 'mongoose';
+import * as passportLocalMongoose from 'passport-local-mongoose';
+
+var UserSchema: PassportLocalSchema = new Schema({});
+UserSchema.plugin(passportLocalMongoose, options);
+
+interface IUser extends PassportLocalDocument {...}
+interface IUserModel<T extends PassportLocalDocument> extends PassportLocalModel<T> {...}
+
+var UserModel: IUserModel<IUser> = model<IUser>('User', UserSchema);
+```
+Full example for [Passport Local Mongoose](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/passport-local-mongoose/passport-local-mongoose.d.ts)
+
+#### Promises
+These definitions use global.Promise by default. If you would like to use mongoose's own mpromise
+definition (which is deprecated), you can install definitions for [mongoose-promise](https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/mongoose-promise).
+
+If you'd like to use something other than global.Promise, you'll need to create a simple .d.ts file:
+```
+// promise-bluebird.d.ts
+import * as Bluebird from 'bluebird';
+
+declare module 'mongoose' {
+  type Promise<T> = Bluebird<T>;
+}
+
+// promise-q.d.ts
+import * as Q from 'q';
+
+declare module 'mongoose' {
+  type Promise<T> = Q.Promise<T>;
+}
+
+// another-promise.d.ts
+...
+```
+To use it, you will need to `/// <reference path="promise-bluebird.d.ts" />` in one of your source code files,
+or include the `.d.ts` file in your compile.
+
+To assign the new promise library in your code, you will need to use one of the following options (since
+Typescript does not allow assigning properties of imported modules):
+
+* `(<any>mongoose).Promise = YOUR_PROMISE;`
+* `require('mongoose').Promise = YOUR_PROMISE;`
+* `import mongoose = require('mongoose'); ... mongoose.Promise = YOUR_PROMISE;`
+
+#### FAQ
+Q: Why are there 2 interfaces for Documents called Document and MongooseDocument?<br>
+A: People have been using this for a long time:
+```
+interface IUser extends mongoose.Document {
+  ...
+}
+```
+When it should really be this:
+```
+interface IUser extends mongoose.model {
+  ...
+}
+```
+For backwards compatibility Document is an interface for [mongoose.model](https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/blob/master/lib/model.js#L3162)<br>
+And MongooseDocument is an interface for [mongoose.Document](https://github.com/Automattic/mongoose/blob/master/lib/model.js#L3162)<br>
+At some point in the future this may get fixed, which would require fixing your code.
