extranting search results

[Angel Rodriguez]

Hello. Is there any way to extract the results of a search for use in a rendering ??

Example: 

var query = dbPeople.find({}).lean().exec(function(err, data) {

    return data;

});

app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {

res.render('index', { 

data: query

});

});

Thanks !

The app.get() call is configuration/setup for your router. That is done at startup/boot time. You don't want to do database queries then. You want to do them in the course of processing a request. Something like this:

app.get('/', function(req, res, next) {

dbPeople.find({}).lean().exec(function(err, data) {

res.render('index', { 

data: data

});

});

});

Hope that helps,

Jason

I understand that !!, But, what if I want to do a database query before to have some data ready for some requests ????

Thanks !  :-)

I suppose you could do a query on startup and cache the data. Not necessarily a good idea (what if the data changes?) But then you would have to pass the data itself to res.render()… in your code I think you're passing the promise for the data.
