Unable to find record by id in mongoose

I am trying to find record by id but it not getting done 

var id = req.param('id');
var item = {
    '_id': id
}
videos.find(item, function(error, response) {});

I have give a valid id but still it is not fetching,can anyone suggest help,please.

Solution

  • There is a callback provided to find() but in your code above, it has no executable statements. Instead of this:

    videos.find(item, function(error, response) {});

    ...do something like this:

    videos.find(item, function(error, response) {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error); // replace with real error handling
    return;
  }
  console.log(response); // replace with real data handling
});
