I am grabbing a specific document that contains an array, where each member of the array is an object that contains a userID field. When I just log the individual member I see the userID field but when I try and access just that field with object notation I get undefined.
What am I doing wrong here?
const group = await Group.findById(groupID);
console.log(group.members[0]); //logs the object with a userID field
console.log(group.members[0].userID); //logs undefined
This is what console.log(group.members[0]) outputs:
{
_id: new ObjectId("61be4e75ac29e62582fa1f67"),
userID: '61be42d89dbaa49fa164774b',
createdAt: '12/18/2021'
}
I tried using dot notation for the createdAt field and receive the same error.
I found the answer. In my database, the group had the field userID, and in my schema it was userId.
Thanks to everyone who gave it a look, and in the future if you're in a similar spot make sure your schema matches up.
