mongoose save to 2 collection

Hello guys i really need help for this one . It's been bugging me for how many days

model/user.js

var UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({
username:{
    type: String,
    unique: true,
    index:true
},
password:{
    type:String
},
email:{
    type:String,
    required: true
    // unique: true
},
authToken:{
    type: String,
    required: true,
    unique: true
},
IsAuthenticated:{
    type: Boolean,
    required: true
},
name:{
    type:String
},
field:{
    type:String
},
e_money:{
    type:Number //this is the integer form in mongoose
}
});


//accesible variable from the outside
var User = module.exports = mongoose.model('users', UserSchema);

var InfoUser = module.exports = mongoose.model('infouser', UserSchema);

and how i save is like this

var User = require('../models/user);

 var newUser = new User({
        name: name,
        email: email,
        authToken: authToken,
        IsAuthenticated: false,
        username: username,
        password: password,
        field: field,
        e_money: e_money //temporary emoney

    });

 var newUser2 = new InfoUser({
        name: name,
        email: email,
        authToken: authToken,
        IsAuthenticated: false,
        username: username,
        password: password,
        field: field,
        e_money: e_money //temporary emoney

    });




        //save the newly created user to database
    User.createUser(newUser,function(err, user){
        if(err) throw err;
        console.log(user);
   )};

   User.createUser(newUser2,function(err,user){
    if(err) throw err;
        console.log(user);
   )};

What is the problem it always says that the infouser is not defined. Can someone plase

The problem is that you are exporting two different models through the same module.exports. Instead I would recommend that you export them separately:

model/user.js

// You can add instance methods like this:
UserSchema.methods.createUser = function(user) {
  // Whatever you want to do here
};

var User = mongoose.model('users', UserSchema);
var InfoUser = mongoose.model('infouser', UserSchema);

exports.User = User;
exports.InfoUser = InfoUser;

/*
  You could also do this as:
  module.exports = { User: User, InfoUser: InfoUser };
*/

Then when you want to use them:

var User = require('../models/user').User;
var InfoUser = require('../models/user').InfoUser;
