Using Webpack with Mongoose - mongoose.model is not a function

Question

I\'m using Webpack to use require modules in the browser; however, I\'m getting the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: mongoose.model is not a function
            


        

Answer 1

mongoose.model is server side only. On the client/browser there is no model, because the client/browswer has no database connection. You can use mongoose.Document though, in order to keep schemas DRY/isomorph.
