I got a strange behaviur using mongoose. I got empty array, but my document have some document. This is my Account.js :

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;

var accountSchema = mongoose.Schema({
    username: String,
    password: String,
    cover: String,
    createAt: {type: Date, default: Date.now},
    subscriber_email: String
});

var Account = module.exports = mongoose.model('account', accountSchema);

module.exports = Account;

This is my controller, the filename is home.js

var User = require('../models/User');
var Account = require('../models/Account');

exports.getNumberOfAccounts = function(req, res) {
    Account.find({}, function(err,response){
        console.log(response)
    });
}

How I can it in server.js

var app = express();
var homeController = require('./controllers/home');
app.post('/getNumberOfAccounts', homeController.getNumberOfAccounts);

Which part I've done wrong? I always get empty array.

The names and types of attrubutes in accountSchema are equals in the database? – BrTkCa Oct 08 '16 at 14:47
@LucasCosta yes – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 14:54
try this `mongoose.model('Account', accountSchema);` – ZEE Oct 08 '16 at 15:11
are you sure that your collection `Account` has documents? – abdulbarik Oct 08 '16 at 15:19
@abdulbarik yes – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 15:19
@ZeRubeus my document's name is account not Account. – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 15:20

Can you try to export directly your model instead of setting in variable like this `module.exports = mongoose.model('account', accountSchema);` and then try – abdulbarik Oct 08 '16 at 15:21
@abdulbarik doesn't make any different – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 15:42
Maybe try inserting a new entry by using .save() and see if there's a difference in the database. And also test if the newly inserted data can be retrieved. – Nico Hauser Oct 08 '16 at 16:22
@Tyratox can. I'm pissed I spent 3 hours couldn't solve this, not sure it's a bug of moongose or what. – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 16:23
@MariaJane Yeahh it seems strange – Nico Hauser Oct 08 '16 at 16:28
@Tyratox I delete the schema and I change the 'account' to 'photos' i can get the data, I'm seriously stuck now. – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 16:32
I renamed my document from account to accounts and it worked, stupid mongodb auto pural feature – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 16:34
@MariaJane WTF, didn't think Mongoose would do that! If you want to stick to a singular form, you can take a look at this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/22394469/2897827 – Nico Hauser Oct 08 '16 at 16:37
Stupid moongse feature, stuck for 5 hours!!! – Maria Jane Oct 08 '16 at 16:39
