My locationsModel
file:
mongoose = require 'mongoose'
threeTaps = require '../modules/threeTaps'
Schema = mongoose.Schema
ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId
LocationSchema =
latitude: String
longitude: String
locationText: String
Location = new Schema LocationSchema
Location.methods.testFunc = (callback) ->
console.log 'in test'
mongoose.model('Location', Location);
To call it, I'm using:
myLocation.testFunc {locationText: locationText}, (err, results) ->
But I get an error:
TypeError: Object function model() {
Model.apply(this, arguments);
} has no method 'testFunc'
You didn't specify whether you were looking to define class or instance methods. Since others have covered instance methods, here's how you'd define a class/static method:
animalSchema.statics.findByName = function (name, cb) {
this.find({
name: new RegExp(name, 'i')
}, cb);
}
Hmm - I think your code should be looking more like this:
var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
Schema = mongoose.Schema,
ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;
var threeTaps = require '../modules/threeTaps';
var LocationSchema = new Schema ({
latitude: String,
longitude: String,
locationText: String
});
LocationSchema.methods.testFunc = function testFunc(params, callback) {
//implementation code goes here
}
mongoose.model('Location', LocationSchema);
module.exports = mongoose.model('Location');
Then your calling code can require the above module and instantiate the model like this:
var Location = require('model file');
var aLocation = new Location();
and access your method like this:
aLocation.testFunc(params, function() { //handle callback here });
See the Mongoose docs on methods
var animalSchema = new Schema({ name: String, type: String });
animalSchema.methods.findSimilarTypes = function (cb) {
return this.model('Animal').find({ type: this.type }, cb);
}
Location.methods.testFunc = (callback) ->
console.log 'in test'
should be
LocationSchema.methods.testFunc = (callback) ->
console.log 'in test'
The methods have to be a part of the schema. Not the model.
