Mongodb return an Empty array - mongodb

Question

I am trying to make a range query and show the data in my ejs view
EJS View "historicos.ejs"
<h1>historicos</h1>
<form action="/historicos/buscar">
<input type="text" name='inicio' id='inicio'></li>
<input type="text" name='final' id='final'></li>
<br>
<button type="submit">Buscar</button>
</form>
<% if(typeof his !== 'undefined'){
his.forEach(function(dati){%>
<%= dati.temp %>
<%= dati.hum %>
<%= dati.date %>
<br/>
<%});
}; %>
I am using a controller with 2 methods, 1 for render the page and one to manage the query.
Controller "grafi.js"
var Si = require('../models/sis');
exports.getPagehis = function(req, res) {
if (req.user) return res.redirect('/');
res.render('historicos');
};
exports.getHis= function(req, res, next) {
ini = req.body.inicio;
fin = req.body.final;
console.log(ini)
console.log(fin)
Si.find({"date": {"$gte":ini, "$lt":fin}},function(err, his) {
console.log(his);
if(err) return next(err);
res.render('historicos', {
his:his
});
});
};
and this is my router file
router.get('/historicos', hiController.getPagehis);
router.get('/historicos/buscar', hiController.getHis);
if I write manually ini and fin to make the query(using this format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm), I mean without the req.body.inicial and req.body.final, it work well but when I request the information from the view I got this fields undifined.
what can i do to solve this?

Answer 1

the problem was form and the request in general adding method="get" in the form and update the controller with:
var Url = require('url');
...
queryparams = Url.parse(req.url,true).query;
ini = queryparams.ini;
fi = queryparams.fi;
... make the query to mongo db
with this code is possible to get the values in the input files passed in the url
