MongoDB beginner, having trouble getting queries to work. Was following a tutorial of sorts and it was a demo notes app. Their syntax for saving new notes works fine.
However when it comes to printing out the list of notes, there seems to be something wrong in the syntax given to me or something im doing wrong.
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const url =
"mongodb+srv://Saif:<password>@cluster0.8d2lb.mongodb.net/notes-app?retryWrites=true&w=majority";
mongoose.connect(url, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
});
const noteSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
content: String,
date: Date,
important: Boolean,
});
const Note = mongoose.model("Note", noteSchema);
Note.find({}).then((result) => {
result.forEach((note) => {
console.log(note);
});
mongoose.connection.close();
});
After looking up documentation, the actual syntax of find is a little different where they pass in a callback instead of using promises. But changing that block to use a callback still doesnt work
Note.find({}, (error, data) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
data.forEach((note) => {
console.log(note);
})
}
mongoose.connection.close()
})
Error
TypeError: cursor.toArray is not a function

.find method from model returns Query object not Cursor
For cursor you need to do .exec
Note.find({}).exec((error, data) => {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
data.forEach((note) => {
console.log(note);
})
}
mongoose.connection.close()
})
