I need to put variable inside mongodb like query. This is my code
query={username: /req.params.data/}
Users.find(query,function(err,users){
if(err){
console.log(err);
}
else{
console.log(users);
}
});
req.params.data is a variable.I need to look for user that contains it.
req.params.data is a variable and will contain the passed username from front end.
var userName = req.params.data;
User.findOne({ 'username': userName })
.then(function(user){...})
.catch(function(err){console.log(err)});
});
Ok if you need to perform a like search then use RegExp.
User.find(username: new RegExp(req.params.data));
or the old way is
User.find(username: {$regex: "/^" + req.params.data + "/"});
req.params.data; it's probably best not to throw in random syntax like slashes if you don't know what you're doing.new RegExp(req.params.data).
