Example 7-17. The updated app.js

Parameters used in the function call do not match those in the defined function. The function call is:

Account: require('./models/Account')(config, mongoose, nodemailer)

The function definition in ./models/Account as shown in example 7-15 is:

module.exports = function(config, mongoose, Status, nodemailer)

Either 'Status' should be omitted from the function definition or included in the function call. As it is, the app fails because nodemailer is undefined.

Note from the Author or Editor:
since 'Status' is an object declared inside the Account model, the signature should look like this instead:

module.exports = function(config, mongoose, Status, nodemailer) {

On page 5, in the section titled, "Model-View-Controller", last paragraph, the sentence:

"Views are a different story; just as in real life, in software there is often multiple ways to perceive the same information."

should read:

Views are a different story; just as in real life, in software there are often multiple ways to perceive the same information.
