How to get data back from Mongoose without using a callback?
Unfortunately you can't. When you execute a function, you get whatever you return from it. If you return nothing you get undefined by default. Instead of having your readability based on getting the user, you should have it based on what you're going to do with it once you've gotten...
How to save object immediately in MongoDB?
Mongoose inserts the value inmediatly. The problem is that you are not using it´s callback.

So apparently the problem is that HTML defaults to finding an index.html file in any folder within the root. When I change the html file to something else like abc.html the problem is solved. Seems like a bug to me.
How to do mongoose aggregation with nested array documents
Since it was the question that you actually asked that was neither really provided in the current acceptance answer, and also that it does some unnecessary things, there is another approach: var userId = 5; // A variable to work into the submitted pipeline db.sample.aggregate([ { "$unwind": "$options" }, {...
Mongoose - Searching Schema via findOne() unsuccessfully

Supertest and Mongoose Middleware (post remove)
express,mongoose,mocha,chai,supertest
Here's what I suggest. Let's perform the #remove on the doc found by #findOne. If I remember correctly, remove post hooks only works on Doc#remove and not on Model#remove. schema.post('remove', function (doc) { console.log('doctors - post - remove'); // <-- now runs }); app.delete('/doctors/remove', authController.isAuthenticated, function (req, res, next) {...
Why can't I seem to merge a normal Object into a Mongo Document?
node.js,mongodb,mongoose,underscore.js,lodash
The problem is that if you don't have properties defined in your schema, and if they don't already exist, you can't create them with doc.prop = value even if you have {strict:false} in your schema. The only way to set new properties is to do doc.set('prop', value) (You still have...
Saving subdoc ref and parent document simultaneously
In a NoSQL database everything is document oriented so you wouldn't typically do what you are trying to do. You will need to manage the "foreign key" relationship yourself, in code.
How update the first element of an array in mongoDB?

Value property change not being reflected when logging value of Mongoose-created object
As I grew to suspect, it was due to it being an instance of a Mongoose document, as opposed to just a normal Javascript object. I was able to find the solution here: How do you turn a Mongoose document into a plain object? And adding .lean() into the query...

You can use $in to match against an array of values, and dot notation to target the text field within each element of the tags array. Any match will cause a doc to be included in the results. var tagTexts = ['tall', 'small', 'green', 'blue']; User.find({'tags.text': {$in: tagTexts}}, function(err, users)...
Mongoose find and findOne middleware not working
node.js,mongoose,find,middleware
The issue ended up being the order of the items. Apparently you must define the model after setting up the find hooks. This is not required for the save and update hooks though. // define the schema for our recs model var recSchema = mongoose.Schema({ dis: String, // rec display...
mongodb performance when updating/inserting subdocuments
Yes, there is a performance hit. MongoDB has collection-level update locks. By keeping everything in a single collection you are ultimately limiting the number of concurrent update operations your application can perform, hence leading to decreased performance. The caveat to this, is that it totally dependant on how your application...
Mongoose method undefined
You're declaring an instance method (meant to be called on instances of the User model/class) but you're calling it as a class method (a static method in Mongoose parlance). Here's a small demonstration: var mongoose = require('mongoose'); var testSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ test : String }); testSchema.methods.myFunc = function() {...
Getting a list/array of users using Mongoose populate
It seems that you confuse between populate and select. populate is to be used when you have a reference to an external schema like owner : { type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'User' }. If you want to display owner fields, then you need to call populate('owner') to load the user. What...
Creating unique Mongoose objects from CSV
javascript,node.js,mongodb,csv,mongoose
You can use async's eachSeries method. I assume that output is an array of users. Async's eachSeries will iterate over an array, process an item and, once the callback method is called, go to the next item in array : fs.readFile(file, function(err, data) { if (err) throw err; parse(data, function(err,...
Mongoose Validation Error occurs on OpenShift but not local version
node.js,mongodb,mongoose,openshift
On OpenShift, when you find or findOne a model that has a required reference to another entity, that field will not be automatically filled in. Thus, when save is called, the field will be missing. Change var query = List.findOne({ owner: userId, "_id": listId }); to var query = List.findOne({...
Error when trying to query with $near in find()
javascript,node.js,mongodb,mongoose
Your index is on the wrong namespace. What you have: { "business_detail.business_location" : "2d" }, What it should be: { "business_details.business_location" : "2d" }, So the correct field here is "business_details", correct with: db.users.ensureIndex({ "business_details.business_location": "2d }) Or otherwise define that index in your mongoose schema. But also remove any...

Trouble with $gt in mongoose
angularjs,node.js,mongodb,mongoose
GET requests queries are strings, so if you send this: www.mysite.com/?data=1&weightTotal=5 You will get this (strings and not numbers): {data: "1", weightTotal: "5"} In order to use the data you can parse it somehow, for example: req.query.weightTotal = JSON.parse(req.query.weightTotal); or if it's just a number, a faster parse is: req.query.weightTotal...
Mongoose model doesn't work well
use mongoose type Mixed new Schema({ unique: Number, total: Number, hits: {} } Mixed An "anything goes" SchemaType, its flexibility comes at a trade-off of it being harder to maintain.

How to add a subdocument in a mongoose schema
javascript,node.js,mongodb,mongoose
Since the address field is not required by Mongoose when you retrieve the Model from the database the field just won't be defined. Thus you won't be able to add an address field. You should check to see if it exists if(member.address === undefined){ member.address.push(new_address); } else{ member.address = [new_address];...
mongoose get property from nested schema after `group`
node.js,mongodb,express,mongoose
While I'm sure there are other ways to do this, I've accomplish this in the past by populating the docs resulting from the aggregate method.

Why does mongoose model's hasOwnProperty return false when property does exist?
node.js,mongodb,mongoose,passport.js
It's because the document object you get back from mongoose doesn't access the properties directly. It uses the prototype chain hence hasOwnProperty returning false (I am simplifying this greatly). You can do one of two things: use toObject() to convert it to a plain object and then your checks will...
Find by id or username in mongo
Most likely your first query won't work because MongoDB is expecting that _id is an ObjectId, and not a string (which req.params.id probably is): var ObjectId = require('mongoose').Types.ObjectId; exports.getUser = function (req, res) { var id = req.params.id; var $or = [ { username : id } ]; // Does...

Mongo DB relations between documents in different collections
node.js,mongodb,express,mongoose
Relations are usually not a big problem, though certain operations involving relations might be. That depends largely on the problem you're trying to solve, and very strongly on the cardinality of the result set and the selectivity of the keys.

Add elements to an array in MongoDB using Mongoose
Since I'm sensing dangerously bad advice issuing from people telling you to .find() the data then .save() it I'll explain the basic case of "flattening" the data in order to avoid the nested array issue. Nested arrays suffer from a problem that the positional $ operator you would need to...

Mongoose population in instance methods
node.js,mongodb,mongoose,mongoose-populate
In Mongoose instance methods, this is the document instance the method is being called on, so you can do this as: MainSchema.methods = { retrieveChilds: function(callback) { this.deepPopulate('childs.subject.data', callback); }, }; Then to call it: main.retrieveChilds(function(err, _main) { // _main is the same doc instance as main and is populated....

Mongoose, Deep Population on array model
node.js,mongodb,mongoose,mongoose-populate
The deep-populate plugin will work for this, but you need to use the right path to the deepest field you want populated. In this case, the query should look like this: Parent.findOne().deepPopulate('childs.subject.data').exec(function(err, parents) {...}); However, it's important to realize this uses multiple queries (at least one per population level) to...

How would I develop a relationship User belongs to Groups in Mongoose & Node.js?
Mongoose has a feature called population that you can use to set up "relationships" (MongoDB only has limited support for relationships).

Should I use mixed or individual data in a mongoose schema?
There's no compelling reason to make a subdocument for such a small amount of data. With mongoose, you could increase the speed (read: reduce CPU usage) of your queries by excluding packageDimensions (if it was a subdocument) from the conversion to JSON. But since it's only 4 lines, I can't...
Is there a built-in function to get all unique values in an array field, across all records?

I'd like to count the documents with the matching “name” property AND group them by “name” at the same time
If you want mongodb to handle the query internally you could use the aggregation framework. In mongodb it looks like: db.users.aggregate( [{ $group: { _id: '$firstName', // similar to SQL group by, a field value for '_id' will be returned with the firstName values count: {$sum: 1} // creates a...
$unset is empty. You must specify a field like so: {$unset: {: …}}
I wasn't able to reproduce that error message, but as you've seen, Mongoose will only update fields defined in the schema.

Nodejs callback hell in foreach

How to catch the error when inserting a MongoDB document which violates an unique index?

Node Express ejs Error: Failed to lookup view “error” in views directory
node.js,mongodb,express,mongoose,ejs
My guess for the "headers already sent" error is that your // or just latest code is running even when one of the above if statements runs. If that's the case then you'll surely be making multiple calls to res.render or res.send. Try this: router.get('/', function(req, res, next) { /*...
show records based on user role
angularjs,node.js,express,mongoose
You can also refactor out the database access bit in another method (probably in a different module - userController), which will make your code more readable.

Mongoose Populate with express res.json() breaks
