Returning promise inside mongo db document schema

I have following problem: cannot read property 'then' of undefined.
Here is my code:



commentSchema.methods.saveIfMovieExist = function () {
const Comment = this;
Movie.findOne({imdbID: Comment.imdbID}).then(movie => {
if (!movie)
return Promise.reject();

return Comment.save();
}, err => {
return Promise.reject();
}); };


And then I have this request:



router.post('/', (req, res) => {
const comment = new Comment({
imdbID: req.body.imdbID,
text: req.body.text
});

comment.saveIfMovieExist(comment).then(doc => {
res.send(doc);
}, err => {
res.status(400).send(err);
});
});


I would like to check if movie with imdbID exist and if so insert comment to db. I am missing sth in chaining Promises but can not figure out what. Any ideas ?

          you are not returning the find function so first return that, after that you can return promise from it.



          commentSchema.methods.saveIfMovieExist = function () {
          const Comment = this;
          return Movie.findOne({imdbID: Comment.imdbID}).then(movie => {
          if (!movie)
          return Promise.reject();

          return Comment.save();
          })
          };
