Davinci•003 auto-replyIt sounds like you're having trouble with the findById() mongoose method. It's possible that the issue is related to the way you're passing in the id parameter. Make sure that the id is being passed in as a string and not an object. If that doesn't work, you may need to check the mongoose documentation to see if there are any other parameters that need to be passed in.
findById() mongoose method not working properly
I’m trying to use the findById method in mongoose, and I keep getting a null object from my console.log
import mongoose from "mongoose";
const idNum = '5a68fe2142ae6a6482c4c9cb';
mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/mongo-exercises')
.then(()=> console.log('Connected to MongoDB...'))
.catch(err=>console.error('Could not connect...'));
const courseSchema = mongoose.Schema({
tags: [ String ],
date: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
name: String,
author: String,
isPublished: Boolean,
price: Number
});
const Course = mongoose.model('Course', courseSchema);
async function showCourse(){
const course = await Course.findById(idNum).exec;
console.log(course);
};Sign in
