I am trying to write a basic mongoose application which has a schema. I had also created a model. The code is as follows.` \
var mongoose=require('mongoose');
dbUrl='mongodb://localhost:27017/trial';
mongoose.connect(dbUrl);
var userSchema=new mongoose.Schema({
name:String,
email:String,
createdOn:Date
},{collection:'users'});
mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
var newUser=new User({name:'Simon',
email:'[email protected]',
createdOn:Date.now()
});
newUser.save(function(err){
if(!err){
console.log('User Saved');
}
});
console.log(userOne.name);
mongoose.connection.on('connected',function(){
console.log('Mongoose connected'+dbUrl);
});
mongoose.connection.on('error',function(err){
console.log('Error'+err);
});
mongoose.connection.on('disconnected',function(){
console.log('disconnected');
});I am trying to write a basic mongoose application which has a schema. I had also created a model. The code is as follows.` \

var newUser=new User({name:'Simon',

ReferenceError: User is not defined

Any ideas on how to solve this .. Thanks in advance..

Reset to default 4You need to import your newly created model. Just add this before using new User
var User = mongoose.model('User');
Don't use model.
const User = ("User", userSchema);
