MongooseError: `Model.findByIdAndUpdate()` cannot run without a model as `this`. Make sure you are n-CodePudding

This is how I connected to the database

const dbConnection = async() => {
try {
    await mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_CNN);
    console.log('Base de datos online');
} catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
    throw new Error('Error al inicializar la base de datos');
}

the problem comes when updating

const usuariosPut = (req = request, res = response) => {
const {id} = req.params;
const {password, google, correo, ...resto} = req.body;
if (password) {
    const salt = bcryptjs.genSaltSync();
    resto.password = bcryptjs.hashSync(password, salt);
}
const usuario = new Usuario.findByIdAndUpdate(id, resto);
res.json({
    msg: 'put API - controlador',
    id
});

I get that error, it would be very helpful since I just started

CodePudding user response：

Because you are trying to create a new instance of the model model rather than directly calling the method on the model.

const usuario = new Usuario.findByIdAndUpdate(id, resto);

should be:

const usuario = await Usuario.findByIdAndUpdate(id, resto);

Additionally, I don't see any async keyword or Promise.then() in your code. Model methods are asyncronous, so make sure to mark your main function async like this:

const usuariosPut = async (req = request, res = response) => {

CodePudding user response：

Did you created Usuario model before? If so, you do not need to call model constructor with new keyword, your code should look like this:

const usuario = await Usuario.findByIdAndUpdate(id, resto);
