-# $currentDate
-
-The `$currentDate` operator is used to set the value of a field to the current date and time. This operator is useful for automatically updating a field with the current timestamp when a document is inserted or updated.
-
-**Parameters**
-
-  * `field`: The field to update with the current date and time.
-
-  * `type`: (optional) Specifies the BSON type to use for the current date. Can be either `date` or `timestamp`.
-
-
-
-
-## Example (MongoDB Shell)
-
-The following example demonstrates how to use the `$currentDate` operator to set the `lastModified` field to the current date and time when a new document is inserted.
-
-**Create sample documents**
-    
-    
-    db.users.insert({
-      name: "John Doe",
-      email: "[email protected]"
-    })
-
-**Query example**
-    
-    
-    db.users.updateOne(
-      { name: "John Doe" },
-      { $currentDate: { lastModified: true } }
-    )
-
-**View updated document**
-    
-    
-    db.users.findOne({ name: "John Doe" })
-
-**Output**
-    
-    
-    {
-      _id: ObjectId('...'),
-      name: 'John Doe',
-      email: '[email protected]',
-      lastModified: ISODate('2025-10-25T22:50:29.963Z')
-    }
