Is there something fundamentally wrong with this .find function? (Mongoose)

Question

const cleanMongo = (name) => {
        Item.find({ name: name }, (foundItem) => {
            console.log('found item equals', foundItem)
        });

For some reason, the .log is always says the search returns with null, when it should be returning with a matching document queried successfully only moments before.

First param is error, so it should be `Item.find({ name: name }, (error, foundItem) => {` — Jack, Apr 22 '19 at 18:07

First param is error on find's callback, so it should be

Item.find({ name: name }, (error, foundItem) => {

You need to pass the parameters correctly , the error should be the first parameter,

Item.find({ name: name }, (error, foundItem) => {
     console.log('found item equals', foundItem)
});
