Returning the model in Sails JS

Returning the model in Sails JS

I'm trying Sails JS and trying to display a simple record, but the records doesn't seem to be displaying. I have the code below, not sure what I'm doing wrong.

model:

module.exports = {

attributes: {
    id: {
        type: 'integer',
        autoIncrement: true
    },
    Name: {
        type: 'string'
    }
  },

  listAll: function(res, cb){
    Programmes.query('Select * from programmes', function(err, queryResult){
        cb(err, queryResult);
    });
  }
};

Controller:

  view: function (req, res) {

    var myresult;
    Programmes.listAll(res, function(err, result){
      var myresult = JSON.stringify(result);
      console.log('CONTROLLER:' + myresult)      
    });

    return res.view('Programmes/listAll', {Model : myresult });
  },

View:

<html>
    <body>
        This is a test!
        <%_.each(Model, function(myList){%>
            <p>id: <%= myList.id%></p>
        <% })%>
    </body>
</html>

Your findAll method is asynchronous, but you're treating it like a synchronous function by placing res.view after it and expecting the myresult var to be instantiated. Move res.view inside the callback for listAll (directly after console.log) and it should work fine.
