Mongoose Query() Function

The Query constructor is used for building the queries. So the user does not need to instantiate a Query directly. The `query` is an instance of `Query`.

Syntax:

Query()

Parameters: This function has optional parameters like model, condition, collection and options.

Return Value: This function returns Query object.

Installation of mongoose module:

You can visit the link to Install mongoose module. You can install this package by using this command.

npm install mongoose

After installing the mongoose module, you can check your mongoose version in command prompt using the command.

npm version mongoose

After that, you can just create a folder and add a file for example, index.js as shown below.

Example 1: Filename: index.js

javascript

const express = require('express');
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const app = express()

// Database connection
mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/geeksforgeeks', {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useCreateIndex: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true
});

// User model
const User = mongoose.model('User', { 
    name: { type: String },
    age: { type: Number }
});

const query = new mongoose.Query();
console.log(query);

app.listen(3000, function(error ){
    if(error) console.log(error)
    console.log("Server listening on PORT 3000")
})

Steps to run the program:

The project structure will look like this:

Run index.js file using below command:

node index.js

Output:

Query {
  _mongooseOptions: {},
  _transforms: [],
  _hooks: Kareem { _pres: Map {}, _posts: Map {} },
  _executionCount: 0,
  op: undefined,
  options: {},
  _conditions: {},
  _fields: undefined,
  _update: undefined,
  _path: undefined,
  _distinct: undefined,
  _collection: undefined,
  _traceFunction: undefined,
  '$useProjection': true
}
Server listening on PORT 3000

Example 2: Filename: index.js

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

// Database connection
mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/geeksforgeeks', {
    useNewUrlParser: true,
    useCreateIndex: true,
    useUnifiedTopology: true
});

// User model
const User = mongoose.model('User', { 
    name: { type: String },
    age: { type: Number }
});

const query = new mongoose.Query();
query.collection(User.collection);
console.log(query);

      name: 'users',
      collectionName: 'users',
      conn: [NativeConnection],
      queue: [],
      buffer: true,
      emitter: [EventEmitter]
    },
    collectionName: 'users'
  },
  _traceFunction: undefined,
  '$useProjection': true
}
