node.js - mongoose doesn't allow me to use camelCase collection name

Question

Here is my code:

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

mongoose.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/miniRDS",{
        useNewUrlParser:true,
       useCreateIndex:true,
       useUnifiedTopology: true
},(err)=>{
if(!err){
    console.log("Connected")
}else{
    console.log("Couldn't connect!");
     }
});



const tests = new mongoose.Schema({
    subject:{
      type:String,
      required:true,
      default:"ict"
   },
   date:{   
      type:String,
      required:true,
     default:"01-01-2021"
    }
 });
 const testsModel = mongoose.model("classTests",tests);

const s =  new testsModel({
   subject:"english",
   date:"12-01-2021"
});
s.save();

I am using mongoose version 5.11.11. And I am facing difficulty when I try to create a collection with camelCase name using mongoose model.

In the above codes, It should create a collection name "classTests", instead it creates "classtests". how can I achieve "classTests"? Thanks

Mongoose automatically looks for the plural, lowercased version of your model name, please check this documentation, so you can't create a collection with camelCase in mongoose
