Mongodb FindOne returns object with undefined property

Question

I'm trying to get a user from my collection with findOne using its name attribute but it returns undefined whereas my user is in the db.

This is my schema :

var schema = new mongoose.Schema({
  name: {
    type: String,
    required: [true, "Please enter a name"],
    maxlength: 32,
  },
  password: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    minlength: [6, "Password must be at least 6 characters"],
  },
  email: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
    unique: true,
  },
  isAdmin: {
    type: Boolean,
    default: false,
  },
});

const Userdb = mongoose.model("userdb", schema);

module.exports = Userdb;

And this is where i try to get my user :

const name = req.body.name;
  const password = req.body.password;
  const user = Userdb.findOne({name: name});
  // console.log(user.name, user.password);
  if (user.name === undefined)
    return res.status(400).send({ message: "User not found" });

  const dbpassword = user.password;

where my console.log returns undefined

In the db :

Check your body request and sure you has data in db collection with this condition. If data of collection has not match query mongoose return you undifined.

• Send request in raw mode and set Json type to send request

Like this

And you should create async function and use await for get data then log that

const user = await Userdb.findOne({name: name});
