Answer 1

I encountered this issue when tried to add a new model on the base code of this tutorial User Auth on MEAN stack. The solution is like what Ahei mentioned.

Specifically, I need to add a line require('path/to/your/model') in the end of /app_api/models/db.js which is required in the app.js. It is better to keep the consistency of the structure for the ease of development.
