Adding a model as a subdocument in another model which is in a separate file

I am using having serious issues with performing this task. Can someone put me through on how it is done. I use mongoose and node.js

In the model you want to add to, whatever field your adding to should be an array of objectsId's that reference the the other model you want added. For example, add a new friend: USER MODEL ...... friend: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'User'}], ..... Then in your /add-friend route, you update the model by pushing the friends ID to the friend array. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18001478/referencing-another-schema-in-mongoose#18002078
