In this lesson, we learn that we can store datetime properties in MongoDB documents using the $currentDate operator.
We demonstrate how to create a new date property for a document, such as one for "Bob Johnson," by simply applying the operator.
We also show how to update multiple properties at once and set them as either Date or timestamp types.
By using $currentDate, we can easily manage and modify date-related information in our MongoDB documents, ensuring accurate time tracking.
