Check if ID exists in a collection with mongoose

Question

For instance, I have a collection User:

var mongoose = require(\'mongoose\');

var UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    email: String,
    googleI         


        

Answer 1

OR you can simply use exists function, without making any async/await:

myData = {_id: userID};

User.exists(myData,(error, result)=>{
    if (error){
      console.log(error)
    } else {
      console.log("result:", result)  //result is true if myData already exists
    }
  });

You can play with the result now!
