Re: [mongoose] Cannot read property 'name' of undefined.

[Jason Crawford]

I don't think you can pass a simple object like {name: String} to mongoose.model(). I think it needs to be a Mongoose Schema object. Create the schema object first, then pass that to mongoose.model(). See the guide for an example: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/guide.html

Hope that helps,

Jason

I have seen similar title in this forum, but the case looks not so similar. So I'm filing another one here.

My code is simply like this:

var Cat = mongoose.model('Cat', { name: String });

Then I got an error with context like this:

./node_modules/mongoose/lib/index.js:305

  if (!this.modelSchemas[name]) {

                        ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'Issue' of undefined

I tried to console log the "this" context in the method Mongoose.prototype.model, which shows an empty object.

It seems for whatever reason, the Mongoose prototype cannot access it's constructor contents.

Curious enough, it was working until I added "marked" into my package.json.

Is it about npm or JavaScript, or it is me?

You can pass object literals for schemas as of 3.6 https://github.com/LearnBoost/mongoose/wiki/3.6-Release-Notes#object-literal-schema-support

Create a test case that works. Then add marked. If it breaks, post the code so we can run and debug.
