Difference in schema between mongoose and mongoose fixture about mongoose-fixture

[mgan59]

@tobiasoberrauch sorry I missed this originally, are you still having issues and need help?

There is no prescribed way to register your schemas, it depends on your application/usage pattern. In order to have reusable schemas I recommend this method which plays nicely with mongoose-fixture and still allows for shared schemas for express-apps or other services.

//user.js

module.exports = function(mongoose, conn) {

    var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
    var UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
        name: {type: String, required: true}
    });

    // register model here, though I'd recommend against it see 
    // https://github.com/mgan59/mongoose-fixture/issues/25 
    mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

    return {
        name: 'User',
        schema: UserSchema
    };
};

Let me know if this doesn't work and feel free to post more code if you need help.
