Mongoose: Create a User schema and Todo schema

Good afternoon guys. I've been working on building a little contact list app and I wanted to use mongoose for storing data and session items. I've never used mongoose before so I picked up a quick PDF to follow along with. Most of if makes sense and I was able to piece some stuff together and get authentication running to add new users using a UserSchema. Works great. What I'm a little lost on now is how can I use mongoose to create a second schema called ContactSchema. I thought I would create 2 different files for each schema (user.js and contact.js), but when I try that, I still don't see a contact collection when I run show collections in my mongo terminal and I also don't throw any errors. It's also the same when I check for it in robomongo.

My server file calls the all my models like this:

require('./server/models').connect(config.dbUri);
// config.dbUri -> "dbUri": "mongodb://localhost/react_app"

My user.js file:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const bcrypt = require('bcrypt');

// define the User model schema
const UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  email: {
    type: String,
    index: { unique: true }
  },
  password: String,
  name: String
});

...bcrypt code here

module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);

My contact.js file:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

// define the Contact model schema
const ContactSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  content    : String,
  updated_at : Date
});

module.exports = mongoose.model('Todo', ContactSchema);

My index.js file to require both user.js and contact.js schemas:

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

module.exports.connect = (uri) => {
  mongoose.connect(uri);

  // plug in the promise library
  mongoose.Promise = global.Promise;

  mongoose.connection.on('error', (err) => {
    console.error(`Mongoose connection error: ${err}`);
    process.exit(1);
  });

  require('./user');
  require('./contact');
};

The index.js, user.js and contact.js files are all inside of my models folder. I can get this to run with no errors in console, but I'm still not seeing the contact collection on the mongo side. Am I on the right track here? As always any help or related posts are greatly appreciated. To get a better idea, here is the github link to the full project: https://github.com/DanDeller/Base. Thanks again guys.
