This is my User.js
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var bcrypt = require('bcrypt-nodejs');
var UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({
email: {
type: String,
unique: true
},
password: String,
});
var User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
function createDefaultUsers() {
User.find({}).exec(function (err, collection) {
if (collection.length === 0) {
User.create({
email: 'name@eemail.com',
password: 'password0',
});
}
exports.createDefaultUsers = createDefaultUsers;
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
I call createDefaultUsers in another file to create initial users.
But when this gives me the following error:
userModel.createDefaultUsers(); ^ TypeError: Object function model(doc, fields, skipId) { if (!(this instanceof model)) return new model(doc, fields, skipId); Model.call(this, doc, fields, skipId); } has no method 'createDefaultUsers'
But if I comment out module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
it compiles fine. What am I doing wrong.
Cheers.
In this case, you should attach that function as a static method and export the model.
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var bcrypt = require('bcrypt-nodejs');
var UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({
email: {
type: String,
unique: true
},
password: String,
});
UserSchema.statics.createDefaultUsers = function createDefaultUsers(cb) {
return User.find({}).exec(function (err, collection) {
if (collection.length === 0) {
User.create({
email: 'name@eemail.com',
password: 'password0',
}, cb);
} else {
if (cb) {
cb(err, collection);
}
}
});
};
var User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
module.exports = User;
Now you can use it directly from the model (which is likely very similar to how you're already using it):
require('./models/user').createDefaultUsers();
