Why can't I get a list of categories?

Question

MongoDB

The collection looks like this:


Schematic like this:

const categorySchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  title       :   { type : String },
  subCategories:  [
    {
      name: { type: String }
    }
  ]
})

But if I make a request for categories: I await Category.find()

see an empty array. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Most likely the name of the collection is different from the name of the collection that Mongoose is looking for.

The call to mongoose.model sets the name of the collection the model is bound to, defaulting to the model name in lowercase plural.

It seems to me that in your case the problem is the same, because I do not represent other options.
