I have a post request which I need to loop through an array, find the users in the database and sent the results back to the view but I can only seem to send back the first user. How are for-loops supposed to be implemented? I cant use re.send in a loop and res.JSON gives me the same result. My code below sends back the first user:
app.post('/rankcandidates', function(req, res){
var array = JSON.parse(req.body.array);
for (var i = 0;i<array[0].length;i++){
User.find({"_id" : { "$in" : [ array[0][i]._id] }
}).exec(function (err, result) {
res.setHeader('Content-Header', 'application/json');
res.send(JSON.stringify(result));
// also tried res.JSON but doesn't work
});
}
});
My Ajax call:
$.post("/rankcandidates",
{array:JSON.stringify(array)},
function(data,status){
console.log(data); // comes out as a string of the first user
});
via user
