MERN stack : Express api returning empty data , but the data is already present in mongodb - mongodb

Question

I am new to the MERN stack, and I have been trying to access my collections in MongoDB.
Here is the code for the router, view bookings:
/*This is router file*/
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser')
let book = require('../models/BookTravel');
const router = require('express').Router()
router.use(express.json())
router.route('/').get((req, res) => {
// Company.aggregate({companyId})
book.find()
.then((result) => {
console.log(result)
return res.status(200).json(result)
})
})
module.exports = router;
/*
* this is for model
*/
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const TravelSchema = new Schema({
firstname:{
type: String,
required: true
},
bookingId:{
type: String,
required: true
},
lastname:{
type: String,
required: true
},
startcity:{
type: String,
required: true
}
})
const travel = mongoose.model('travel', TravelSchema)
module.exports = travel;
////in app.js file
const viewBookings = require('./routes/viewBookings');
app.use('/viewBookings', viewBookings)
The postman is also giving empty result.
What am I missing out ? Is it not possible to access the already existing collection with this method ?

Answer 1

You are missing some code in the router file.
for example! If you want to get data from a database
you can simply use like below this
.......
router.get("/",async (req,res)=>
{
try{
const result = await book.find();
res.status(200).json({"message" : result})
}
catch(error)
{
console.log(error)
}
})
......
