How to fix 'headers already sent' error in node - node.js

Question

So I'm trying to create a node app that calls an ldap serve and to authenticate users. In the code below, the app successfully connects to the server and processes the request. But when I try to send a response back, I get this error:
throw new ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT('set');
^
Error [ERR_HTTP_HEADERS_SENT]: Cannot set headers after they are sent to the client
I'm not really sure why this is occurring. I'm pretty new to node, express, and ldap
// ldapjs required for ldap connection
const ldap = require('ldapjs');
//express required for exposing endpoints
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const assert = require('assert');
var client = ldap.createClient({
url: 'ldap://someserve.com'
});
//Search filter for users in the directory
var opts = {
filter: '(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))',
scope: 'sub',
};
//General Ldap serch user
var UserName = '123.test.com';
var Pass = '123longpass'
//Base URL
app.get('/', (req,res) => {
res.send('hello from node')
});
//Get all ldap users
app.get('/api/ldapUsers', (req, res) =>
{
client.bind(UserName, Pass, function (err)
{
client.search('DC=sdf,DC=sdfa,DC=gdfgd', opts, function (err, search)
{
search.on('searchEntry', function (entry)
{
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
var users = entry.object;
console.log(users);
res.json(users);
res.end();
});
});
});
// client.unbind( err => {
// assert.ifError(err);
// });
});
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
app.listen(port, () => console.log(`Listening on port ${port}...`));

searchEntry event is called once for each found item which means you are calling res.json multiple times.
Try this:
app.get('/api/ldapUsers', (req, res) =>
{
client.bind(UserName, Pass, function (err)
{
client.search('DC=sdf,DC=sdfa,DC=gdfgd', opts, function (err, search)
{
var users = [];
search.on('searchEntry', function (entry) {
users.push(entry.object);
});
search.on('end', function (entry) {
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
console.log(users);
res.json(users);
res.end();
});
});
});
});
