Collection count using mongoose

Question

I am trying to display the total registered users in the admin panel.

Below is my code to get the total count

exports.getcount = async (req, res) => {
  Client.count({}, function (err, count) {
    console.log("Number of users:", count);
    res.status(200).json({
      message: `Registered  Clients ${count}`,
    });
  });
};

In my client schema, I have an isDeleted field that is either true or false. In my total count, I just want to return those clients which contain isDeleted:false.

Instead of `.count()` you could use `.countDocuments({ isDeleted: false })` . Here are the [docs](https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api.html#model_Model.countDocuments) — AhmCho, Sep 09 '21 at 11:59

Instead of .count(), which is deprecated (see here ), you could use .countDocuments({ isDeleted: false }).

countDocuments accepts a filter that will match documents in your database collection. Here are the docs
