MongoDB: Find items with the user id - mongodb

Question

I have a product collection and a user collection where I reference user to my product collection.
So far what I am trying to achieve here is to get only the products that are created by that user.
const getOwnerProduct = expressAsyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
const activeUser = await User.findById(req.user._id)
const pageSize = 10
const page = Number(req.query.pageNumber) || 1
const items = { user: { _id: activeUser } }
const count = await Product.countDocuments({ ...items } )
const products = await Product.find({ ...items }).limit(pageSize).skip(pageSize * (page - 1))
res.json({ products, page, pages: Math.ceil(count / pageSize) })
})
Here's the Product Schema:
const productSchema = mongoose.Schema({
user: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
required: true,
ref: 'User'
},
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
price: {
type: Number,
required: true,
},
description: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String
},
rating: {
type: Number,
required: true,
default: 0
},
image: {
type: String,
required: true,
default: 0
},
}, { timestamps: true
})
And here's the userSchema:
const userSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
phone: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
role: {
type: String,
enum: ['administrator', 'productOwner', 'regular'],
default: 'regular'
}
}, { timestamps: true
})
Here's the router:
app.use('/api/products', productRoutes)
router.route('/').get(getProducts, admin).get(getOwnerProducts, productOwner)
For some reason this doesn't work. I think my query on mongodb is not correct.
Any idea what am I missing here?

Here instead of const products = await Product.find({ ...items }) you can try
await User.findById(req.user._id).forEach(element =>{Product.find({user=element._id})});
or
await User.findById(req.user._id).forEach(element =>{Product.find(user=element._id)});
