Description

Hi

Not sure where you want bug reports about issues in the book? is it ok here? or should I sent to your publisher?

In Chapter 10: section: Setting up MongoDB using Mongoose:

Example 3: app.coffee - you say we need to update our app to include the todo model we just created...I assume you mean we need to update app.coffee with the require todos_controller -- but the image included in the Kindle version I have - does not show any controller line being added - it just repeats a previous code block that did not have any changes to it in this one.

Its missing this line:

require("#{__dirname}/src/controllers/todos_controller")

and the rest of the section expects that you did that - but if you follow explicitly you missed it and won't get the results the book shows! :)

hope this helps someone!

cheers.

Research direction

Start with Chapter 10, the “Setting up MongoDB using Mongoose” section, and Example 3’s app.coffee image. Compare the Kindle image with the surrounding instructions and verify that the todos_controller require line is shown; done means the example image matches the steps that follow.
