Loopback API Error while creating the profile model

Question

I am trying to create the Profile model in loopback it is showing the error.

error details Unhandled error for request POST /api/Users: Error: Cannot call Profile.create(). The create method has not been setup. The PersistedModel has not been correctly attached to a DataSource!

 'use strict';

    var loopback = require('loopback');
    var boot = require('loopback-boot');

    var app = module.exports = loopback();

    app.start = function() {
      // start the web server
      return app.listen(function() {
        app.emit('started');
        var baseUrl = app.get('url').replace(/\/$/, '');
        console.log('Web server listening at: %s', baseUrl);
        if (app.get('loopback-component-explorer')) {
          var explorerPath = app.get('loopback-component-explorer').mountPath;
          console.log('Browse your REST API at %s%s', baseUrl, explorerPath);
        }
      });
    };

    // Bootstrap the application, configure models, datasources and middleware.
    // Sub-apps like REST API are mounted via boot scripts.
    boot(app, __dirname, function(err) {
      if (err) throw err;

      // start the server if `$ node server.js`
      if (require.main === module)
        app.start();
    });
    console.log(Object.keys(app.models));

    app.models.User.afterRemote('create',(ctx,user,next)=>{

     console.log("The new User is ",user);


    app.models.Profile.create({
      first_name :user.username,
       created_at :new Date(),
       userId: user.id
    }, (err,result)=>{
      if(!err && result)
      {
        console.log("Created new profile !", result);
      }
      else{
        console.log("There is an error ",err);
      }
      next();
    });

    });

Prfile.JSON file

{
  "name": "Profile",
  "base": "PersistedModel",
  "idInjection": true,
  "options": {
    "validateUpsert": true
  },
  "properties": {

    "history":{
      "type":["object"]
    }
  },
  "validations": [],

}

**This file is the profile.js file **

'use strict';

module.exports = function(Profile) {

};

Perhaps you still need to bind your model to the data source in the model-config.json file, like that:

datasources.json

  "rdb": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3306,
    "database": "asat",
    "password": "12345",
    "name": "rdb",
    "user": "admin",
    "connector": "mysql"
  }
  ...

model-config.json

  "Profile": {
    "dataSource": "rdb",
    "public": true
  }
  ...
