Here is my route

module.exports.routes = {

  '/': {
    view: 'homepage'
  },
  '/about':{
    view: 'about/index'
  },
  'get /register': 'RegisterController.index',
  'post /register/create' : 'RegisterController.create',
  'get /dashboard/create' : 'DashboardController.create',
  'get /Dashboard': 'DashboardController.index',
  'get /dashboard/removePost:id': 'DashboardController.removePost'
};

And the terminal error shows:

Anyone help will be apprciated Thanks in advance

Answer 1

In the controller, you are using Dashboard.remove() but this method does not exists. Use Dashboard.destroy().exec() instead.

Dashboard.destroy({'_id' : id }).exec(function(err){
    console.log('The record has been deleted');
})
