LOOPBACK Modify another model inside a hook

Question

I want to insert new data in Event model when the property "code" in Transaction model is equal to 3

 module.exports = function(Transaction) {
    Transaction.observe('before save', function(ctx, next) {
        if(ctx.data.code == 3){
          //How to access and insert data in Event model ?
        }
    });
};

If you have an Event model with a function to insert newData. Just reference the model. For ex:

var eventModel = require('pathtoEventModel');  

module.exports = function(Transaction) {
Transaction.observe('before save', function(ctx, next) {
    if(ctx.data.code == 3){
       eventModel.saveNewData(ctxBeingNewData,function(response,next){
       //manipulate as per your wish.
       })
    }

}); };
