Schema is created in ToDoListModel.js

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

var TaskSchema = new Schema({
    name: {
       type: String,
       require: 'Kindly enter the name of the task'
     },
    Created_date: {
       type: Date,
       default: Date.now
     },
   status: {
      type: [{
          type: String,
          enum: ['pending', 'ongoing', 'completed']
       }],
    default: ['pending']
    }
 });
module.exports = mongoose.model('Tasks', TaskSchema);

Any help will be appricated.

Answer 1

server.js file is unable to locate your TodoListModel.js file. you should give the exact path of your model file in server.js, try this it will work.

    var Tasks = require('./app/models/TodoListModel');

Answer 2

If I understand the issue correctly you should be able to access the Tasks object just by doing this:

var Tasks = require('./models/TodoListModel');
