--description--
If you don’t pass the callback as the last argument to Model.find()
(or to the other search methods), the query is not executed. You can store the query in a variable for later use. This kind of object enables you to build up a query using chaining syntax. The actual db search is executed when you finally chain the method .exec()
. You always need to pass your callback to this last method. There are many query helpers, here we'll use the most commonly used.
--instructions--
Modify the queryChain
function to find people who like the food specified by the variable named foodToSearch
. Sort them by name
, limit the results to two documents, and hide their age. Chain .find()
, .sort()
, .limit()
, .select()
, and then .exec()
. Pass the done(err, data)
callback to exec()
.
--hints--
Chaining query helpers should succeed
