nuxt-mongoose module: Failed to resolve import “#nuxt/mongoose”

I’m trying to integrate my Nuxt project with the nuxt-mongoose module.
(https://nuxt-mongoose.nuxt.space/getting-started/setup)

But I’m encountering a problem, even if I’ve followed all the steps.

First of all I installed the package

npm install nuxt-mongoose -D

Then I set up the .env and nuxt.config.ts

// nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  devtools: { enabled: true },

  css: [
    'vuetify/styles/main.sass'
  ],

  build: {
    transpile: ['vuetify']
  },

  modules: [
    'nuxt-mongoose',
  ],

  nitro: {
  },

  mongoose: {
    uri: process.env.MONGODB_URI,
    options: {},
    modelsDir: 'models'
  }
})

So I created a schema, following the wiki one

// server/models/user.schema.js

import {defineMongooseModel} from "#nuxt/mongoose"; //Here is where I'm getting the error

export const UserSchema = defineMongooseModel({
    name: 'UserSchema',

    schema: {
        name: {
            type: 'string',
            required: true,
        },

        email: {
            type: 'string',
            required: true,
            unique: true
        },

        password: {
            type: 'string',
            required: true
        }
    }
});

Even if I followed what’s in the wiki, when running npm run dev, I’m getting this error:

ERROR  Failed to resolve 
import "#nuxt/mongoose" from "server\models\user.schema.js". 
Does the file exist?

I’ve checked and actually the module export exists and so the method used, so I don’t know why it isn’t working.

I’ve tried to remove the import {defineMongooseModel} from "#nuxt/mongoose" as seen in other internet pages, but then the error says that it doesn’t find that method.

I’ve tryied to remove and install the package nuxt-mongoose multiple times, without success.

Upon checking the link you sent, your schema configuration is fine. The problem is, the codes inside the ~/pages/index.vue. If I am not mistaken, files that are in the server are only accessible inside the server folder except the API routes.

The codes inside the index.vue in the pages, and replace it with this.

<template>
  <div>
    <v-btn @click="saveTestUser()">Prova prova</v-btn>
  </div>
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">

async function saveTestUser() {
  console.log('clicked')
  $fetch('/api/users/create', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: {
      name: 'Giggio',
      email: '[email protected]',
      password: 'snmpassword'
    }
  }).then(() => {
    console.log('Success')
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err)
  })
}
</script>

~/server/api/create.post.js

export default defineEventHandler( async ( event ) => {
    try {
        const body = await readBody( event )
        await UserSchema.create( body )
        return 200

    } catch ( error ) {
        console.log( error )
        return createError( { statusCode: 500, statusMessage: 'Something went wrong.' } )
    }
} )

Tested and it works!
