NODE.JS function callback to render page - node.js

Question

I have a function getthem() that checks a mongo db for listings and returns name,streamurl for it.
I pass those as var stream to the renderme that renders the /dashboard page.
My problem is that i get the console.log("END OF FIND:"+JSON.stringify(stream))
to show my test input, but nothing goes to the render.
im using ejs to render. How can i get the result passed to the page ?
router.get('/dashboard', function (req, res) {
var foo = getthem();
function getthem() {
var group = "tesint";
console.log('geting for group : ' + group);
var mdlListings = require('../models/listings.js');
var myresult = "tet";
mdlListings.find({}, "name streamurl", function (err, data) {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
return;
}
if (data === null) {
console.log("No results");
return;
}
var stream = { };
data.forEach(function (streams) {
console.log("Got " + streams.name + " " + streams.streamurl);
stream[streams.name] = streams.streamurl;
// stream += 'name: '+streams.name+'},{streamurl: '+streams.streamurl;
// console.log("stram arry "+stream[streams.name] )
console.log("END OF FIND:"+JSON.stringify(stream))
}, renderme(stream));
// console.log("Result:", votes);
//var myresult = Object.keys(stream).map(function (name) {
// return { name: name, url: stream[name] };
//})
console.log("before return stream "+stream);
return stream;
});
}
function renderme(resa) {
console.log("RESA"+JSON.stringify(resa))
var resa = JSON.stringify(resa);
res.render('dashboard', {
title: 'Dashboard',
user: req.user,
listing: resa
}
)
}

Answer 1

You're passing the result of renderme(stream) as a second argument to forEach(). renderme(stream) is then evaluated immediately before your forEach() callback is called, when stream is still an empty object. My guess is you want something like this:
data.forEach(function (streams) {
console.log("Got " + streams.name + " " + streams.streamurl);
stream[streams.name] = streams.streamurl;
console.log("END OF FIND:"+JSON.stringify(stream))
});
renderme(stream);

Actually i figure that why would i pass the function as i could just do whatever i need to directly in there.
That worked perfectly, thanks for the tip.
data.forEach(function (streams) {
console.log("Got " + streams.name + " " + streams.streamurl);
stream[streams.name] = streams.streamurl;
});
res.render('dashboard', {
title: 'Dashboard',
user: req.user,
listing: data
}
)
