Passing collection name to mongoose models

var mongoose = require('mongoose'),
Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var sensorModel = new Schema({
key: String,
value: Schema.Types.Mixed
})
modules.export = mongoose.model('collectionName',sensorModel);

I want to pass the the name of collection from my main app.js file to it then specifying it in the model code, is there a way by which I can do that?

Please try it with Template string as below

sensorModel.js

module.exports = function (modelName) { 
    // sensorModel definition...
    //...

    var str = `${modelName}`;
    mongoose.model(str, sensorModel);
});

app.js

var modelName = 'collectionName';
require('./models/sensorModel.js')(modelName); // require the model file before invoking `mongoose.model`.
var CollectionName = mongoose.model('collectionName');
