Koa js : Err: Can't set headers after they're sent. mongoDB

Question

I'm using Koa 2's async functions.

I get the following error.

events.js:163 1:56 PM throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event 1:56 PM ^ 1:56 PM 1:56 PM Error: Can't set headers after they are sent. 1:56 PM at ServerResponse.setHeader (_http_outgoing.js:371:11) 1:56 PM at Object.set (/app/node_modules/koa/lib/response.js:440:16) 1:56 PM at Object.redirect (/app/node_modules/koa/lib/response.js:261:10) 1:56 PM at Object.proto.(anonymous function) [as redirect] (/app/node_modules/delegates/index.js:40:31) 1:56 PM Jump to at url.findOne (/app/server.js:126:9) 1:56 PM at model.Query.

This is part of my code.

async function red(ctx) {
  let redurl = "//url here";
  url.findOne({ shortenedLink: redurl }, (err, data) => {
    //find if short url matches long url in db
    if (err) throw err;
    if (data) {
      //if matches then redirect to long url
      ctx.redirect(data.url); //getting the error here
      console.log("matched");
    } else console.error("--"); 
  });
}

If you are using an async function, you should then follow the async/`await? pattern and not using callbacks. So you should rewrite your call like:

async function red(ctx) {
  let redurl = "//url here";
  try {
      data = await url.findOne({ shortenedLink: redurl })
      if (data) {
        ctx.redirect(data.url); //getting the error here
        console.log("matched");
      } else {
        console.error("--"); 
      }
  } catch (err) {
      throw err;
  }
}
