Call model from another plugin in Strapi

I have a Notification model which belongsToMany users from users-permissions plugin.

I have another model called Profile which belongsToOne user.

Now, I want to populate the notification with related user and their profile ...

I have tried:

 await strapi.query("user", "users-permissions").find({_id: `model id`}).populate('profile')

Throwing Impossible to find the plugin where strapi.query has been called. at me.

Also tried:

notification.user.populate('profile')

No luck either

I also tried strapi.plugins["users-permissions"].models.user got undefined!

I think this works on the backend side, whilst you are trying to reach it from the front end

I am having the same problem here. All of these are undefined:

strapi.query
strapi.plugins

The global strapi object exists, just doesn't provide the properties listed above... Am I missing something? I have read the docs at least three times... no luck.

You don't need query.

You will have to use the mongoose model instance of the User model of Users & Permissions plugin.

return strapi.plugins['users-permissions'].models.user.
  .findOne(user_id)
  .populate('profile');
