使用Node.js和Express.js检索MongoDB子文档

标签: node.js mongodb express mongo-collection

我使用node.js,express.js和mongodb创建了一个RESTful API。我开始通过从MongoDB集合中提取文档来创建我的路线,这些文档非常有效。

示例收集文档

{ 
"_id" : ObjectId("51ace8c04cc8ea865df0923e"), 
"title" : "Some Example Title", 
"producer" : 
 { 
  "company" : "Your Company Name"
 } 
}

工作 - 如果我执行.find({query})而不是通用find()

,它也可以工作
   app.get('/something', something.findAll);
    exports.findAll = function(req, res) {
        db.collection('something', function(err, collection) {
            collection.find().toArray(function(err, items) {
                res.contentType('json');
                res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
                res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, PUT');
                res.header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type, Authorization');
                res.send(items);
            });
        });
    };

但是当我尝试使用dot.notation调用嵌入式文档(即子文档)时,它会中断。

* 不起作用 *

db.something.find( { 'producer.company': 'ABC123' } )

即使我尝试

db.something.find( {producer: {company: 'ABC123'} } );

我收到一条错误消息。

TypeError: Converting circular structure to JSON
    at Object.stringify (native)
    at ServerResponse.res.json (../lib/response.js:185:19)
    at ServerResponse.res.send (..//lib/response.js:117:21)

    at callbacks (../node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:161:37)
    at param (../node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:135:11)

任何人都可以帮我找一个解决方法,或者让我知道我的方法是否有任何错误。

谢谢!

你基本上已经完成了这个

> var a = {a:1}
undefined
> a.b = a
{ a: 1, b: [Circular] }
> JSON.stringify(a)
