How to select document by id with Sails-mongo?

Question

User.find({ _id: { \'!\': user.id } }, function foundFriends (err, friends) {
    if(err) return next(err);
        res.view({
            friends: friends
        });
}         


        

Answer 1

There are couple of things I see are weird with your code.
1. The callback function as for sails 10 should be executed with .exec()
2. I think you should not search for _id but only id. I think waterline parses this underscore.

Having that in mind your code should look something like

User.find({ id: { '!': user.id } }).exec(function (err, friends) {
    if(err) return next(err);
    res.view({
        friends: friends
    });
});

Answer 2

You can try this:

User.findOne({ _id : ObjectId(user.id.toString()) })

Hope this help.

Hi you can try this for find, update, or destroy by id with sails-mongo via select:

 //Schema
  module.exports = {  
   autoPK : false,
     attributes : {
       id : {
         type: 'string',
         primaryKey: true
       },
       name : {
         type : 'string'
       },
       email : {
         type : 'string'
       }
    }
 }



 // Find
 User.find({
   select : {id : user.id}
 }).exec((err,record)=> { 
   if(err) return console.log(err,"err");
   console.log(record,"record");
 })

 // Update
 User.update({
   select : {id : user.id}
 },{ 
  name : "Foo"
 }).exec((err,record)=> { 
   if(err) return console.log(err,"err");
   console.log(record,"record");
 })

 // Destroy
 User.destroy({
   select : {id : user.id}
 }).exec((err,record)=> { 
   if(err) return console.log(err,"err");
   console.log(record,"record");
 })

Hope this can help to you.
