How can I query my database and return all user documents?-CodePudding

I'm trying to test an API that returns all user documents in Mongo DB, however it keeps returning an empty result. I can't seem to figure out where my code is going wrong.

here's my user model

const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

let userSchema = new Schema({
  userId: {
    type: String
  },
  pw: {
    type: String
  },
}, {
  collection: "creds"
});
module.exports = mongoose.model("User", userSchema);

and my api for returning all users

router.get("/session/users", async (req, res) => {
  try {
    User.find({}, function (err, user) {
      if (err) {
        console.log(err);
        res.status(500).send({
          message: "Interal server error:"   err.message,
        });
      } else {
        console.log(user);
        res.json(user);
      }
    });
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
    console.log(req.body.userId);
    res.status(500).send("Interal server error: "   e.message);
  }
});

when testing this in soap, i keep getting this result in the console. I have one document currently, but it acts like it doesn't exist

Connection to the database instance was successful

CodePudding user response：

If you want to use async await you can just simplify your code like this:

router.get("/session/users", async (req, res) => {
    try {
      const users = await User.find({});
      res.json(users);
    } catch (e) {
      console.log(e);
      res.status(500).send("Interal server error: "   e.message);
    }
  });
