How do I define methods in a Mongoose model?

Question

My locationsModel file:

mongoose = require 'mongoose' threeTaps = require '../modules/threeTaps'  Schema = mongoose.Schema ObjectId = Schema.ObjectId  LocationSchema =   latitude: String   longitude: String   locationText: String  Location = new Schema LocationSchema  Location.methods.testFunc = (callback) ->   console.log 'in test'   mongoose.model('Location', Location); 

To call it, I'm using:

myLocation.testFunc {locationText: locationText}, (err, results) -> 

But I get an error:

TypeError: Object function model() {     Model.apply(this, arguments);   } has no method 'testFunc'

You didn't specify whether you were looking to define class or instance methods. Since others have covered instance methods, here's how you'd define a class/static method:

animalSchema.statics.findByName = function (name, cb) {     return this.find({          name: new RegExp(name, 'i')      }, cb); }
