What's the problem you're trying to solve?

Post any code you think might be relevant (one fenced block per file)

                   ^

Can you post your User model file (the whole file with imports and exports too)

[rosecg1739]

const mongoose = require('../utils/connection')

const { Schema, model } = mongoose
// schema definition



const UserSchema = new Schema({
    username: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        unique: true
    },
    password: {
        type:String,
        required: true
    }
    })
// create user model
const User = model('User', UserSchema)

//export user model

model.exports = User

[nayaba]

Your last line should be module.exports rather than model.exports

[rosecg1739]

throwing me this error now 

Error: Cannot find module './controllers/usercontrolles'
Require stack:
- /Users/chelseagallagher/code/mealsApp/server.js

[nayaba]

Is your file called usercontrolles or usercontrollers?

[rosecg1739]

usercontrollers.js

[nayaba]

So did you try fixing that typo?

[rosecg1739]

yes I fixed the typo but it is still throwing me this error

/Users/chelseagallagher/code/mealsApp/models/user.js:10
const UserSchema = new Schema({
                  ^

TypeError: Schema is not a constructor
   at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/chelseagallagher/code/mealsApp/models/user.js:10:20)

[nayaba]

Can you post your updated model file again?

[rosecg1739]

// our schema and dependencies

const mongoose = require('../utils/connection')

const { Schema, model } = mongoose
// schema definition



const UserSchema = new Schema({
    username: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        unique: true
    },
    password: {
        type:String,
        required: true
    }
    })
// create user model
const User = model('User', UserSchema)

//export user model

module.exports = User

[nayaba]

Are you exporting mongoose from your utils/connection.js file?

[rosecg1739]

yes

/ our schema and dependencies

const mongoose = require('../utils/connection')

[nayaba]

So that's importing it on your model file. Do you have a line like this in your connection file? module.exports = mongoose
