How to return mongodb query result with hapi js

I've been trying to build APIs with Hapi, started with something simple as returning all users from database:



{
method: 'GET',
path: '/users',
handler: (request, h) => {
var users;
collection.find({}).toArray((err, users) => {
console.log(res)
// I want to return the list of users here
// return users // this one does not work
// return h.response(users) // does not work either
});

return "" // or here
}
}


How can I make this work?

  • Are there any errors? Are you using the MongoDB node driver? Is the db connection successful and collection variable declared correctly (pointing to a valid collection)?

  • There's no error, the Console.log did show the expected result (an array of users) so I suppose the connection and query are good. Yes, I'm using MongoDB node drive const mongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;

  • Possible duplicate of cursor.toArray() returns a promise instead of array

You could do :



server.route({
method: 'GET',
path: '/',
handler: (request, h) => {
return collection.find({}).toArray()
//return collection.findOne({}) // Or like this, to just return one result
}
});
