How do I tailor my query to get a specific title? - node.js

Question

I have a query in my app.js file that renders into my list page list.ejs found at http://localhost:4100/list. As the name may suggest, the list page displays a list of ALL the transactions stored in the database, though I would be more interested in only displaying all the transactions strictly within the county of Nairobi.
Find below the contents of my app.js file:
app.get('/list', (req,res)=> {
let countyName;
countyName = transModel.findOne({ transCounty : /Nairobi/i, })
.limit(5)
.select({ transCounty:1})
.exec( (err, result)=> {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('>> ' +result);
return result;
});
console.log ('countyName: ' +countyName);
transModel.find( (err, docs)=> {
if (!err)
{
res.render('list', {data : docs, countyName: countyName});
}
else
{
// res.status(status).send(body);
}
})
});
In the terminal, the code above yeilds:
countyName: undefined
>> { _id: 609f7ed8fe1fd8b3193b0b77, transCounty: 'Nairobi' }
My list.ejs looks like this:
<h1> Transactions </h1>
<p>
Name of County: <%= countyName %>
</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th> _id </th>
<th> Transaction Amount </th>
<th> Transaction County </th>
<th> Transaction Industry </th>
</tr>
<% data.forEach(function(entry) {%>
<tr>
<td> <%=entry._id%> </td>
<td> <%=entry.transAmount%> </td>
<td> <%=entry.transCounty%> </td>
<td> <%=entry.transIndustry%> </td>
</tr>
<%});%>
</table>
The above list.ejs file, though correctly renders a table with the desired content from the database isn't able to pick the name of the County. Kindly help me figure out how I can achieve this.
Find below an image of the rendered list.ejs:
Kindly note Name of county is undefined.
How do I formulate my query be able to yield all transactions within only Nairobi, and also display the name of the county in the ejs file.
Looking forward to your help.

You should wait for the promise to resolve before using its value:
countyName = await transModel.findOne({
transCounty: /Nairobi/i,
})
.limit(5)
.select({
transCounty: 1
})
.exec();
