How to get rid of Error: "OverwriteModelError: Cannot overwrite `undefined` model once compiled."?

I have a common method for updating document of any collection in MongoDB?

The following code is in file name Deleter.js

module.exports.MongooseDelete = function (schemaObj, ModelObject);
{
  var ModelObj = new mongoose.Model("collectionName",schemaObj);
  ModelObj.remove(ModelObject);
}

And invoking as follows in my main file app.js:

var ModObj = mongoose.model("schemaName", schemasObj);
var Model_instance = new ModObj();
var deleter = require('Deleter.js');
deleter.MongooseDelete(schemasObj,Model_instance);

I am getting following error: 

OverwriteModelError: Cannot overwrite `undefined` model once compiled.
    at Mongoose.model (D:\Projects\MyPrjct\node_modules\mongoose\lib\index.js:4:13)

I get on 2nd method call only.. Please let me know if any one has got some solution.

I think you have instantiated mongoose.Model() on the same schema twice. You should have created each model only once and have a global object to get a hold of them when need

I assume you declare different models in different files under directory $YOURAPP/models/

$YOURAPPDIR/models/
 - index.js
 - A.js
 - B.js

index.js 

module.exports = function(includeFile){
    return require('./'+includeFile);
};

A.js

module.exports = mongoose.model('A', ASchema);

B.js

module.exports = mongoose.model('B', BSchema);

in your app.js

APP.models = require('./models');  // a global object

And when you need it

// Use A
var A = APP.models('A');
// A.find(.....

// Use B
var B = APP.models('B');
// B.find(.....

I managed to resolve the problem like this:

var Admin;

if (mongoose.models.Admin) {
  Admin = mongoose.model('Admin');
} else {
  Admin = mongoose.model('Admin', adminSchema);
}

module.exports = Admin;

I try to avoid globals as much as possible, since everything is by reference, and things can get messy. My solution

model.js 

  try {
    if (mongoose.model('collectionName')) return mongoose.model('collectionName');
  } catch(e) {
    if (e.name === 'MissingSchemaError') {
       var schema = new mongoose.Schema({ name: 'abc });
       return mongoose.model('collectionName', schema);
    }
  }

I found it better to avoid global and exception handing-

var mongoose = require("mongoose");
var _ = require("underscore");

var model;
if (_.indexOf(mongoose.modelNames(), "Find")) {
    var CategorySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
        name: String,
        subCategory: [
            {
                categoryCode: String,
                subCategoryName: String,
                code: String
            }
        ]
    }, {
        collection: 'category'
    });
    model = mongoose.model('Category', CategorySchema);
}
else {
    model = mongoose.model('Category');
}


module.exports = model;
