TypeError: undefined is not a function in nodejs

This is my users.js model.

As I'm new to nodejs, it is very difficult to understand what this error means or why it happens. Thus, what does the error mean and how to get rid of it?

Edit: This is my newUser call.

app.post(         '/signup/',         function(req, res) {              {console.log(req.body.username);                 User.newUser(                      req.body.email, req.body.password,req.body.username,req.body.apiKey,"pocket",                     function (err, user) {                         if ((user)&&(!err)) {                             console.log(user.username)                              UserApi.createApi(                                     user,function(err,userapi){                                         if((!err)){                                             console.log("Api created");                                             res.send("APi created");                                          }                                         else{                                             if(err.errors.apiKey){                                                 res.send(err);                                             }                                         }                                       });                             req.session.regenerate(function(){                                 req.session.user = user._id;                                 //res.send("Success here!");                               });                         } else {                             if (err.errors.email) {                               res.send(err)                                console.log(req.body.password);                               console.log(req.body.email);                               console.log(req.body);                             }                                                       if (err.errors.username) {                               res.send(err)                                console.log(req.body.password);                               console.log(req.body.email);                               console.log(req.body);                             }                            }                     });               }          });

With your edit, the issue that you're passing more arguments than newUser is expecting. This results in fn being set the value of req.body.apiKey, which is apparently undefined:

UserSchema.statics.newUser = function (email, password, username, fn) {     // ... });  User.newUser(               // set to...     req.body.email,         // => email     req.body.password,      // => password     req.body.username,      // => username     req.body.apiKey,        // => fn     "pocket",               // => (unnamed), arguments[4]     function(err, user) {   // => (unnamed), arguments[5]         // ...     } }); 

You'll either want to edit the function to name the additional arguments or remove them from the call if they're not actually necessary (since you're creating a UserApi instance both inside newUser and within the intended callback).

The error means you're attempting to call a value of undefined.

One possibility is the fn argument as newUser will attempt to call it whether it's actually a function or not:

UserSchema.statics.newUser = function (email, password,username, fn) {     //...         fn(err, instance);     //... }); 

But, the value of fn depends on how you call newUser:

// fn = undefined User.newUser('email@domain', 'password', 'username');  // fn = function User.newUser('email@domain', 'pass', 'user', function (err, user) { }); 

So, you'll either want to test that fn is a function before attempting to call it:

instance.save(function (err) {     if (typeof fn === 'function') {         fn(err, instance);     } }); 

Or you can pass fn directly to Model#save, which already handles when fn is undefined:

instance.save(fn);
