Reading Data from the collection is very easy. Getting all data of the collection.
var Auto = require('models/auto')
Auto.find({}, function (err, autos) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
// will return a json array of all the documents in the collection
console.log(autos);
})
Reading data with a condition
Auto.find({countOf: {$gte: 5}}, function (err, autos) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
// will return a json array of all the documents in the collection whose count is greater than 5
console.log(autos);
})
You can also specify the second parameter as object of what all fields you need
Auto.find({},{name:1}, function (err, autos) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
// will return a json array of name field of all the documents in the collection
console.log(autos);
})
Finding one document in a collection.
Auto.findOne({name:"newName"}, function (err, auto) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
//will return the first object of the document whose name is "newName"
console.log(auto);
})
Finding one document in a collection by id .
Auto.findById(123, function (err, auto) {
if (err) return console.error(err);
//will return the first json object of the document whose id is 123
console.log(auto);
})
