mongoose TypeError: findOneAndUpdate is not a function

Question

I am studying Puppeteer with mongoose by example( https://medium.com/@e_mad_ehsan/getting-started-with-puppeteer-and-chrome-headless-for-web-scraping-6bf5979dee3e ). When I do 'node index.js', I get findOneAndUpdateerror message like this;

(node:53135) DeprecationWarning: current URL string parser is deprecated, 
and will be removed in a future version. To use the new parser, pass option 
{ useNewUrlParser: true } to MongoClient.connect.

(node:53135) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: 
User.findOneAndUpdate is not a function**

I don't know why I get this error message. I am stuck for hours. Please help me.

I think you didn't export the User model in <models/user.js> .

Add module.exports = mongoose.model('User', userSchema); Using User variable without it might've led to that problem.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

let userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    username: String,
    email: String,
    dateCrawled: Date
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
