Not sure what is wrong with my LunchOrder exercise

Here is my code for exercise 3/3!

import datetime

from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
from flask.ext.login import UserMixin
from peewee import *

DATABASE = SqliteDatabase(':memory:')


class User(UserMixin, Model):
    email = CharField(unique=True)
    password = CharField(max_length=100)
    join_date = DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
    bio = CharField(default='')

    class Meta:
        database = DATABASE

    @classmethod
    def new(cls, email, password):
        cls.create(
            email=email,
            password=generate_password_hash(password)
        )

class LunchOrder(Model):
    order = TextField()
    date = DateField()
    user = ForeignKeyField(
        rel_mode=User,
        related_name="orders"
    )

def initialize():
    DATABASE.connect()
    DATABASE.create_tables([User], safe=True)
    DATABASE.close()

You are so close!

Issue 1:

typo in ForeignKeyField -- use 'rel_model' rather than 'rel_mode'

Issue 2:

need to add a class Meta to the LunchOrder class to specify database.

class LunchOrder(Model):
    order = TextField()
    date = DateField()
    user = ForeignKeyField(
        rel_model=User,
        related_name="orders"
    )
    class Meta:
        database = DATABASE

Good luck with Flask!

Thank you Jeff Muday! I could actually pass right after the typo fix!

Awesome! This is a really fun course-- Flask is (in my opinion) the best lightweight Framework -- but Ruby's Sinatra has a lot going for it too.
