Question

I encountered the situation that I needed the model before defining it. In someMethod(), I tried this.model('Goods') to retrieve the model. I wondered that if there’s a better way.

var mongoose = require('mongoose')
    , GoodsSchema = require('./schemas').GoodsSchema
    , GoodsModel;


GoodsSchema.methods.someMethod = function () {
    // need GoodsModel here
    // GoodsModel.find()....    
};

GoodsModel = mongoose.model('Goods', GoodsSchema);
module.exports = GoodsModel;

Answer 1

this.model("Goods").find()
