Mongoose find() returns undefined property and strange object

Question

I have a bug that i can\'t resolve because for the first time it happen to me.

here is my query :

    Pack.find(
            {idclient: clientId }
               


        

Answer 1

Two parts to this one ...

First, the callback from a Mongoose find returns an array ... findOne will return a single object.

As far as the new lines go, mongoose documents have a toString() helper for console.log. It is likely adding the newlines for readability. Wrap the output in JSON.stringify (ie. console.log(JSON.stringify(pack))) prior to calling console.log and you will see the document as a string without the newlines. -http://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#document_Document-toString

Answer 2

find() returns an array, so use findOne(), thanks to Adam Wysocki.

Sometimes i'm stupid developper .

Answer 3

As Told Model.find() generates an array so here is how I approach the situation:

Kitten.find(function (err, kittens) {
    if (err) return console.error(err);
    kittens.forEach(function(kitten){
       console.log(kitten.name);
    }); 
});

This seems to me the most clear way to access the properties
