Using PassportJS LocalStrategy in Node.js and trying to create a User object

Inside the LocalStrategy function I am trying to create a new user that I can pass-back with:

var newUser = new User();

and I am getting this error

TypeError:  object is not a function

I can't seem to find the what has the definition for User()

Any ideas?

passport has no definition for User, per se. It sounds to me as if you might want to make use of a schema or similar kind of model.

For example, if your back-end is based on MongoDB, the mongoose project offers schema definitions, amongst other things. With mongoose you can set up a User object definition (i.e. schema), and then make use of it like so:

var user = app.db.models.User.findOne( {...})
