strongloop creating related model object in afterRemote method

say i have a game scenario.

a game belongs to a user.

game.json:

{
  "name": "game",
  "base": "PersistedModel",
  "idInjection": true,
  "properties": {
    "beer_points_required": {
      "type": "number",
      "required": true
    },
    "total_points": {
      "type": "number",
      "required": true
    }
  },
  "validations": [],
  "relations": {
    "game_blngs_to_user": {
      "type": "belongsTo",
      "model": "user",
      "foreignKey": ""
    }
  },
  "acls": [],
  "methods": []
}

user.json:

{
  "name": "user",
  "base": "User",
  "idInjection": true,
  "properties": {
    "last_game": {
      "type": "date",
      "required": false
    },
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true
    }
  },
  "validations": [],
  "relations": {},
  "acls": [
    {
      "accessType": "READ",
      "principalType": "ROLE",
      "principalId": "$everyone",
      "permission": "ALLOW"
    }
  ],
  "methods": []
}

I'm attempting to create a game object for a user programmatically after the user has been created through CRUD, so inside the user.js i have:

var config = require('../../server/config.json');
var path = require('path');
var app = require('../app');

module.exports = function(user) {

user.afterRemote('create', function(context, user) {
    console.log('> user.afterRemote triggered');

  //create a game for each user thats created
  var Game = app.models.game;
  game.create({game_blngs_to_userId: user.id, beer_points_required: 0, total_points: 0},function(err, res){
 if(err){
      console.log('\n\n>>err');
      console.log(err);
      next(err);
      return;
    }
    console.log(res);
  });
});

However, this obviously didn't work lol so I'm wondering how to actually accomplish my goal. I've been staring at strong loops docs for a long time and it seems like actual usage of their api is not that well documented...well at least in my eyes. could anyone please shed some light on this for me?

Perhaps, you're missing 3rd parameter - next function in afterRemote callback.

user.afterRemote('create', function(context, user, next) {
  ...
  var Game = app.models.game;
  game.create({game_blngs_to_userId: user.id, beer_points_required: 0, total_points: 0},function(err, res){
 if(err){
      console.log(err);
      next(err);
      return;
    }
    next() // countinue execution
  });
});

i think your user reference is undefined...try:

app.models.user.afterRemote
