I cant query my MongoDB database with node.js and Mongodb package.
I have succesfully inserted 2 objects like so:
var mongo = require("mongodb");
var host = "127.0.0.1";
var port = mongo.Connection.DEFAULT_PORT;
var db = new mongo.Db("nodejs-introduction", new mongo.Server(host, port, { }), {safe: true});
console.log(host);
db.open(function(error) {
console.log("We are connected ", + host + ':' + port);
db.collection("user", { w:1 }, function(error, collection){
console.log("We have the collection");
collection.insert({
id: "1",
name: "Foo Bar",
twitter: "Foo_Bar",
email: "info@nfoobar.com"
}, {w:1}, function() {
console.log("Succesfully inserted Foo Bar");
});
collection.insert({
id: "2",
name: "Bar Foo",
twitter: "Bar_Foo",
email: "info@tbarfoo.com"
}, {w:1}, function() {
console.log("Succesfully inserted Bar Foo");
});
});
});
Everything goes fine here, no errors. But if i want to query items like so:
var mongo = require("mongodb");
var host = "127.0.0.1";
var port = mongo.Connection.DEFAULT_PORT;
var db = new mongo.Db("nodejs-introduction", new mongo.Server(host, port, { }), {safe: false});
console.log(host);
db.open(function(error) {
console.log("We are connected ", + host + ':' + port);
//collection is sort of table
db.collection("user", function(error, collection){
console.log("We have the collection");
collection.find({ "id": "1" }, function(error, cursor){
cursor.toArray(function(error, users){
if (users.length == 0) {
console.log("no user found");
} else {
console.log("Found a user", users[0]);
}
});
});
});
});
Then i get the following error:
127.0.0.1
We are connected NaN:27017
We have the collection
/path/to/query.js:14
if (users.length == 0) {
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of null
So what i understand is that the variable users is null and that it can't find any matches but i don't know why. What is it that iam doing wrong?
Found a solution. Mongodb was not running. How is it that i can insert to MongoDB without any errors if Mongodb is not running?
