I have been struggling with this task for hours without any success. My goal is simple - I just want to update user data, but it seems like there's something I'm not grasping in my app.post(..) function. Despite feeling confident that I was handling the problem correctly, I keep encountering an error saying "undefined is not a function" at the line where I initialize a new activity instance as "var activity = new activity({title: req.body["activities.title"]});". I'm completely lost..any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
var passport = require('passport');
var Account = require('./models/user');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
var connect = require('connect');
var activity = require('mongoose').model('activity').schema;
module.exports = function (app, models) {
app.get('/home', function (req, res) {
if (req.user){ console.log('userin');
}
res.render('home', { user : req.user });
});
app.get('/register', function(req, res) {
res.render('register', { });
});
// more functions...
Below is the content of my models file:
var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
Schema = mongoose.Schema,
passportLocalMongoose = require('passport-local-mongoose')
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
// model schema definitions...
// exporting schemas
module.exports = mongoose.model('user', user);
var activity = mongoose.model('activity', activities);
This is what my app file looks like:
var express = require('express');
var fortune = require('./lib/fortune.js');
var passport = require('passport');
var LocalStrategy = require('passport-local').Strategy;
var session = require('express-session');
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Account = require('./models/user');
var connect = require('connect');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
var app = express();
// setting up handlebars
// more setup and route configurations...
I am using the Handlebars templating engine for my form as shown below:
<form role='form' action="/schedule" method="POST">
title:<br>
<input type="text" name="activities[title]">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
