mongoose findById works when I use a string literal but not when I reference a property of an Object

Question

I\'m having a really strange problem in Mongoose.

This line correctly finds the Round:

models.Round.findById(\"555ec731385b4d604356d8e5\", f         


        

Answer 1

If result is a JSON string, calling .round would return undefined.

Try converting the JSON to a javascript object first:

result = JSON.parse(result);
models.Round.findById(result.round, function(err, roundref){
        console.log(roundref);
