mongoose Model.findOne TypeError: Object has no method 'findOne'

Question

I have a simple node.js code that uses mongoose which works when saving but doesn\'t retrieve.

.save() works, but .findOne() doesn\'t.

Answer 1

findOne is a method on your Users model, not your user model instance. It provides its async results to the caller via callback:

Users.findOne({field:'value'}, function(err, doc) { ... });
