MissingSchemaError MongoDB

Question

I'm doing a really basic SPA application using nodejs, expressjs and mongodb and i'm getting an MissingSchemaError when i'm trying to run the application. It seems my db schema is not detected properly. I thought it was a typo but its not i'm new to node js and mongodb so a littler help will be appreciated.

monitoring.model.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

var monitoringSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
techName: {
    type: String
},
Customer: {
    type: String
},
Description: {
    type: String
}

});

mongoose.model('monitoring', monitoringSchema);

monitoringController.js

const  express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const monitoring = mongoose.model('monitoring');


router.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render("monitoring/addOrEdit", {
    viewTitle : "Insert Problem"
});
});

 router.post('/',(req, res) => {

 console.log(req.body);
 });

 module.exports = router;

Answer 1

Try

export default mongoose.model('monitoring', monitoringSchema);

instead of

mongoose.model('monitoring', monitoringSchema);

You can have more informations about export default here

Answer 2

You can try an export model in a schema. And module export in the controller.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

var monitoringSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
techName: {
    type: String
},
Customer: {
    type: String
},
Description: {
    type: String
}

});
export default model('Project', ProjectSchema);


const  express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const monitoringModel = require("../models/monitoring.model");
let monitoringController = {};


router.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.render("monitoring/addOrEdit", {
    viewTitle : "Insert Problem"
});
});

 router.post('/',(req, res) => {

 console.log(req.body);
 });

 module.exports = monitoringController;
