  • This usually happens when you're trying to have multiple schema definitions with same name. – Black Mamba Dec 29 '19 at 17:08

When using same model twice or more, code this way

module.exports = mongoose.models['Users'] || mongoose.model('Users', userSchema)

Use this:

module.exports = mongoose.models['Users'] || mongoose.model('Users', userSchema)

Instead of:

module.exports = mongoose.model('Users', userSchema)
