the below is my controller function
exports.validateUsername = async (uName) => {
console.log("inside validate username");
await User.findOne({ username: "sab2" }).then(function (err, user) {
if (err) {
console.log("inside err");
console.log("error");
console.log(err);
return true;
} else {
console.log("inside user found");
console.log("user");
console.log(user);
return false;
}
});
};
I have record in my "user" collection with username ="sab2". But still , the promise function results in err, and goes inside if(err).
But when I do console.log(err) I get the actual user data "sab2" object.
I have a doubt if the function syntax is function(data,err).
Error object printed
Please suggest a solution.
CodePudding user response:
The then()
on a findOne does not return a error, I would rewrite like this:
User.findOne({ username: "sab2" }, function(err, user) {
if (err) {
console.log("inside err");
console.log("error");
console.log(err);
return true;
} else {
console.log("inside user found");
console.log("user");
console.log(user);
return false;
}
});
CodePudding user response:
then
do not return error. Do something like this to catch error
await User.findOne({ username: "sab2" }).then((user) => {
console.log(user)
}).catch(error=>console.log(error))
or use callback. See here
