display data from mongodb with webix - node.js

Question

I'm new in javascript and I want to use webix.
I saw the get started and it's Ok...
So, my problem is that I can't display data from mongodb.
This is my server.js
var express = require('express');
var path = require('path');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
//connect to the mongo
var db = require('mongoskin').db("mongodb://localhost:27017/test", { w: 0});
db.bind('sites');
//create the app instance
var app = express();
//serve static files
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));
//parse POST data
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
// // parse application/json
app.use(bodyParser.json());
function after_update(err, res, record){
if (err){
res.status(500);
res.send({ error:err.toString() });
} else {
res.send(record || {});
}
}
//data loading
app.get('/data', function(req, res){
db.record.find().toArray(function(err, data){
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++){
data[i].id = data[i]._id;
delete data[i]._id;
}
res.send(data);
});
});
app.post('/data', function(req, res){
db.record.insert(req.body, function(err, record){
if (err) return res.send({ status:"error" });
res.send({ newid:req.body._id });
});
});
app.put('/data/:id', function(req, res){
db.record.updateById(req.param("id"), req.body, function(err){
if (err) return res.send({ status:"error" });
res.send({});
});
});
app.delete('/data/:id', function(req, res){
db.record.removeById(req.param("id"), req.body, function(err){
if (err) return res.send({ status:"error" });
res.send({});
});
});
app.listen(3000);
and I'm using index.html to display data. Here that it sucks.
my problem is that I can't found the right manner to get the data from my table in mongodb.
I want to display the cars in my DB.
who has an exemple that can help?
Anyone can help please?
Thank you

Answer 1

Try to load the "/data" in the browser. If it shows the valid JSON, check the client-side code of the datatable, it must be something like following
{ view:"datatable", autoConfig:true, url:"/data" }

Answer 2

I see 2 problems in your code (i guess that your collection is "cars" becouse your text):
You are binding a diferent collection than "cars", in the line "db.bind('sites');". You should change for "db.bind('cars');"
You are using the collection "record" to retrieve and write data, in the sentences "db.record.find", "db.record.insert", "db.record.updateById" and "db.record.removeById". You should change for "db.cars.find", "db.cars.insert", "db.cars.updateById" and "db.cars.removeById".
Cheers.
