Callback is not a function in mongoose.find({})

I am new to Node.js and mongoose, i am trying to query objects from a mongo collection using find({}) and the function is as follows :

schema.statics.listAllQuizes = function listAllQuizes(){
Model.find({},function(err,quizes,cb){
    if(err){
        return cb(err);
    }else if(!quizes){
        return cb();
    }
    else {
        return cb(err,quizes);
    }
});};

But when i call this function i get an error saying

        return cb(err,quizes);
               ^
        TypeError: cb is not a function

I am stuck at this point, can someone please help me with this, thanks in advance.

The callback should an argument to listAllQuizes, not an argument to the anonymous handler function.

In other words:

schema.statics.listAllQuizes = function listAllQuizes(cb) {
  Model.find({}, function(err, quizes) {
    if (err) {
      return cb(err);
    } else if (! quizes) {
      return cb();
    } else {
      return cb(err, quizes);
    }
  });
};

Which, logically, is almost the same as this:

schema.statics.listAllQuizes = function listAllQuizes(cb) {
  Model.find({}, cb);
};

Here's an example on how to use it:

var quiz = App.model('quiz');

function home(req, res) { 
  quiz.listAllQuizes(function(err, quizes) {
    if (err) return res.sendStatus(500);
    for (var i = 0; i < quizes.length; i++) {
      console.log(quizes[i].quizName)
    }
    res.render('quiz', { quizList : quizes });
  });
}

Assuming you have code somewhere that looks like this:

foo.listAllQuizzes(function (err, quizzes) {
  ...
});

Then your function listAllQuizzes is passed a callback:

schema.statics.listAllQuizzes = function (cb) {
  Model.find({}, function(err, quizzes) {
    if (err) return cb(err);
    cb(null, quizzes);
  });
};
