I want to display in my user/myarticlesview only articles by logged in user. How can i do that: Here is my User model and Article schema:
let userSchema = mongoose.Schema(
{
email: {type: String, required: true, unique: true},
passwordHash: {type: String, required: true},
salt: {type: String, required: true},
articles: [{type: ObjectId, ref: 'Article'}],
roles: [{type: ObjectId, ref: 'Role'}]
}
);
let articleSchema = mongoose.Schema (
{
author: {type: ObjectId, ref: 'User'},
title: {type: String, required: true },
content: {type: String, required: true },
phone: {type: Number, required: true },
date: {type: Date, default: Date.now() }
}
);
I want to do this in my userController and passed it to the view:
myArticlesGet: (req, res) => {
if (!req.isAuthenticated()) {
res.redirect('/');
return;
}
res.render('user/myarticles')
}
I cant figure it out how to make the query.Thank you.
As you are using express sessions you can store userId in the express session when the user is authenticated and then you can get user articles from user like that
User.find({_id: req.session.userId}).populate('articles')
