Mongoose/MongoDb getting error geoNear is not a function

Question

This is my controller file locations.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Loc = mongoose.model('location');

module.exports.locationsListByDistance = function(req, res) {
  var lng = parseFloat(req.query.lng);
  var lat = parseFloat(req.query.lat);
  var point = {
    type: "Point",
    coordinates: [lng, lat]
  };
  var geoOptions = {
    spherical: true,
    maxDistance: 1000
  };

  Loc.geoNear(point, geoOptions, function (err, results, stats) {
    console.log(results);
  });
};

My model file locations.js

var mongoose = require('mongoose');

var reviewSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    author: String,
    rating: {
        type: Number,
        required: true,
        min: 0,
        max: 5
    },
    reviewText: String,
    createdOn: {
        type: Date,
        "default": Date.now
    }
});

var openingTimeSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    days: {
        type: String,
        required: true
    },
    opening: String,
    closing: String,
    closed: {
        type: Boolean,
        required: true
    }
});

var locationSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    name: {
        type: String,
        required: true
    },
    address: String,
    rating: {
        type: Number,
        "default": 0,
        min: 0,
        max: 5
    },
    facilities: [String],
    // Always store coordinates longitude, latitude order.
    coords: {
        type: [Number],
        index: '2dsphere'
    },
    openingTimes: [openingTimeSchema],
    reviews: [reviewSchema]
});

mongoose.model('location', locationSchema, 'locations');

Whenever I run http://localhost:3000/api/locations?lng=-0.9690884&lat=51.455041 I get error geoNear is not a function

Answer 1

router.get('/', () => {
    Loc.aggregate([
        {
            $geoNear: {
                near: 'Point',
                distanceField: "dist.calculated",
                maxDistance: 100000,
                spherical: true                
            }
        }
    ]).then(function(err, results, next){
        res.send();
    }).catch(next);
});
