How to query data in MongoDB using Mongoose in Node.js?

Question

I'm creating a node.js REST API and i cannot query data in my API> here's the link to my code on github. Github line 150

And alo this is the code example

  api.get('/story', function (req, res) {
    Story.find({owner: req.decoded._id}, function (err, stories) {
        if (err) {
            res.send(err);

        res.json(stories);
    });
});

I want to find all the Stories creatd by logged user. oi send the user id in request. there are many posts done by user, but i'm getting a null array.

Answer 1

Use Mongoose debugging

var mongoose = require('mongoose').set('debug', true)

then look at your database request at nodejs console and debug it into mongodb console

check datatypes (string/ObjectId), check if it sends null as "owner"

Answer 2

You have written the same GET api api.get('/story',function(){}); twice with different logics. This is the cause for the output. Because the api written in line 99 will get called always when there is /story api call.
