Angular GET from mongodb returns [object Object]

Question

I'm trying to get data from a mongodb server but I keep getting [object Object] for some of the values. I've looked around and seen other people get the same issue but none of those solutions worked. Any and all help would be appreciated.

What's on the server,

The controller for the output page.

angular.module('quizApp')
  .controller('DispTestCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
    $scope.questions = [];

    $http.get('/api/tests').success(function(data) {
      $scope.questions = data;
  });

  console.log($scope.questions);
});

What I get back.

"name":"Quiz",
"info":"Info",
"questions":["[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]","[object Object]"]}]

Answer 1

Make sure that you JSON.stringify(data); on your server before you send it and after that use JSON.parse(data); to convert it to JS object.

Answer 2

There are a number of solutions to the problem. Since you know the objects are strings you could do this String($scope.questions[desiredQuestionIndex]) . If you would like to convert all the objects in the Array, JSON.stringify($scope.questions); .
