I get the error "product.try() is not a function"
If I immediately invoke the try() it works ok, and node recognize the model "product".
is there something I d'ont understand about how mongoose works? I run the whole code in the one file and I followed the steps of the tutor from the video in the course I take.
what is the problem? thank you.
file: product.js =>
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost:27017/shopApp')
.then(()=>{
console.log('CONNECTION OPEN!!!')
})
.catch(err=>{
console.log('HO NO ERROR!!!')
console.log(err)
})
const productSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
maxlength: 20 // Schema options
},
price: {
type: Number,
min: [0, 'Price must be positive']
},
onSale: {
type: Boolean,
default: false
},
categories: {
type: [String]
},
qty: {
online: {
type: Number,
default: 0
},
inStore: {
type: Number,
default: 0
}
},
size: {
type: String,
enum: ['S', 'M', 'L']
}
})
const product = mongoose.model('product', productSchema);
productSchema.statics.try = function(){
console.log('OK')
};
product.try();
You actually need tadd the .try function before calling mongoose.model()
This should work for you:
// connect to mongose...
// ...
const productSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ /* .. your schema .. */})
// add the function to the schema before creating the model!
productSchema.statics.try = function () {
console.log('OK')
};
// since everything is added create the product model!
const product = mongoose.model('product', productSchema);
product.try(); // should work now.
Note: The .model() function makes a copy of schema. Make sure that you've added everything you want to schema, including hooks, before calling .model()!
