Trying to create a model, but I get an error when running the code

[Giles Peng]

Hi,

  I'm trying to use Mongoose to model a book.  But I get 

var bookModel = new Schema({

                ^

TypeError: object is not a function

This is my model code:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var Schema = mongoose.Schema();

var bookModel = new Schema({

title: {

type: String

}, 

author: {type: String},

genre: {type: String},

read: {type: Boolean, default: false}

});

module.exports = mongoose.model('Book', bookModel);

Why am I getting a object is not a function error?

Thanks,

Giles

default: false

vs

default: Boolean

Because you're trying to invoke an object like a function.

I think it's because of this line:

var Schema = mongoose.Schema();

Why are you doing that?

Wasn't paying attention and added the ().  That solved it.

Thanks.
