mongoose schema with array returned null

Question

I have my data like this in my database

[{
  "birth-date": "18/12/2010",
  "babies": [{
    "name": "James",
    "age": 8,
  }, {
    "name": "John",
    "age": 4,
  }]
}]

So I do my schema like below

var babiesSchema = new Schema({
    birth-date: Date, // tried String too
    babies: [{
        name: String,
        age: Number
    }]
});

var Babies = mongoose.model('babies', babiesSchema);

I do

Babies.find({}, function(response){
    res.json(response)
  })

I got null, is something wrong with my schema? There is no error in my node's terminal.

I would say that nothing is wrong with your schema. You just need to read documentation more carefully.

If you look documentation you will find that callback should have 2 parameters. First is for error and second is for result of search. So null means that there is no error. I would try to change code like this:

Babies.find({}, function(err, foundBabies){
    res.json(foundBabies)
})

Try this:

Babies.find({}).exec(function (err, babies) {
        if (err) {
            return res.status(500).json({
                error: 'Cannot find Babies'
            });
        } else {
            res.json(babies);
        }
    });
