I take this opportunity to greet everyone I wanted to expose you a problem:
I can say that I have tried them all, I am about to give up! I also tried with an if else, I tried to change the field, but nothing, it does not take the damn
let query = req.query.name;
from:
http://localhost:3000/search?name=5044
the funny thing is that it works perfectly well in this way:
router.get('/search', async (req, res)=> {
if (!req.query.name)
return res.render("search", {
title: "NodeMongo Search",
userlist:[],
});
else {
const url = 'localhost:27017/local'; // Connection URL
const db = require('monk')(url);
const collection = db.get('startup_log')
try{
let query = 5044; //assigning the pid directly to the variable query
const userlist = await collection.find({pid:query});
res.render("search",{userlist});
}catch(e){
console.log(e);
}}
});
so assigning 5044 to the query variable run perfectly, but:
router.get('/search', async (req, res)=> {
if (!req.query.name)
return res.render("search", {
title: "NodeMongo Search",
userlist:[],
});
else {
const url = 'localhost:27017/local'; // Connection URL
const db = require('monk')(url);
const collection = db.get('startup_log')
try{
let query = req.query.name;
const userlist = await collection.find({pid:query});
res.render("search",{userlist});
}catch(e){
console.log(e);
}}
});
assigning the query req.query.name he doesn't want to know.
this below is the search.ejs page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>User List</title>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='/stylesheets/style.css' />
</head>
<body>
<h1>MongoSearch</h1>
<form action="" method="GET" encType="multipart/form-data">
<label htmlFor="newNote">New Note:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" className="form-control" rows="5" id="name" placeholder="text here"></input>
<button id="done" type="submit" className="btn btn-primary pull-right">Done</button>
<button id="cancel" className="btn btn-warning pull-right">Cancel</button>
</form>
<ul>
<% for (var i = 0; i < userlist.length; i++) {%>
<li><%= userlist[i].pid %></li>
<li></li>
<%}%>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
advice on how much it would be appreciated ... thanks in advance
