error: "User.findOne is not a function" in MERN - node.js

Question

So I am trying to build an authentication system using passport in MERN(MongoDB, Express, React, NodeJS).
I set up everything, I connected react with NodeJS,
The problem is when I am trying to log in or register it shows me,
this error "User.findOne is not a function" in the console and I tried to fix it by looking for any
type mistakes or google it but I didn't find anything online.
Did anyone have a similar mistake and fix it or does anyone know how?
Model Code:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId;
const UserSchema = new Schema ({
password: String,
email: String,
}, {
collection: 'information'
})
const User = mongoose.model('information', UserSchema);
module.exports - User;
Passport Code:
const Strategy = require('passport-local').Strategy
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
const User = require('../models/user');
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs')
const salt = bcrypt.genSaltSync(10);
const SignupStrategy = new Strategy ({ passReqToCallback:true, usernameField: 'email' }, function(req, email, password, done){
User.findOne({email: req.body.email}).lean().exec((err, user) => {
if (err) {
return done(err, null);
}
if (user) {
return done("User already exist", null);
}
const encryptedPassword = bcrypt.hashSync(password, salt);
let newUser = new User({
email,
password: encryptedPassword
})
newUser.save((error, inserted) => {
if (error) {
return done(error, null);
}
delete inserted.password;
return done(null, inserted);
})
})
});
module.exports = SignupStrategy;
Node server:
const createError = require('http-errors');
const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
const logger = require('morgan');
const passport = require('./passport/');
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
//I have used password in mongo I just did <password> for security reasons.
const mongoString = mongoose.connect('mongodb+srv://herpryth:<password>#nowyourguest-ga5vy.gcp.mongodb.net/users?retryWrites=true&w=majority', {useNewUrlParser: true})
const indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
const usersRouter = require('./routes/users');
const app = express();
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/authentication', usersRouter);
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.listen(process.env.PORT || 8080, process.env.IP || '0.0.0.0');
module.exports = app
Route:
const express = require('express');
const app = express.Router();
const passport = require('../passport')
app.post('/signup', (req, res, next) =>{
passport.authenticate('local-signup', function(error, user, info){
if (error) {
return res.status(500).json({
message: error || 'Something happend',
error : error.message || "Server error"
});
}
return res.json(user);
})(req, res, next);
})
app.post('/signin', function(req, res, next){
passport.authenticate('local-signin', function(error, user, info){
if (error) {
return res.status(500).json({
message: error || 'Something happend',
error : error.message || "Server error"
});
}
return res.json(user);
})(req, res, next);
})
module.exports = app;
React server:
const createError = require('http-errors');
const express = require('express');
const path = require('path');
const cookieParser = require('cookie-parser');
const logger = require('morgan');
const passport = require('./passport/');
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const mongoString = mongoose.connect('mongodb+srv://herpryth:XFXGJakc18wBJLIk#nowyourguest-ga5vy.gcp.mongodb.net/users?retryWrites=true&w=majority', {useNewUrlParser: true})
const indexRouter = require('./routes/index');
const usersRouter = require('./routes/users');
const app = express();
app.use(logger('dev'));
app.use(express.json());
app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
app.use(cookieParser());
app.use('/', indexRouter);
app.use('/authentication', usersRouter);
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());
app.listen(process.env.PORT || 8080, process.env.IP || '0.0.0.0');
module.exports = app
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Answer 1

There is just a simple mistake in your code
replace with
module.exports = User
to
module.exports - User
