find all documents using mongoose - node.js

Question

Im trying to find all documents in a DB using mongoose but I cant do it
I want to do it this way but I don't know what's wrong with it
app.get('/users', function (req, res){
User.find({}, 'name', function(err, user){
if(err){
console.log(err);
}else{
res.render('user-list', {
name : user.name
});
console.log('retrieved list of names' + user.name);
}
})
})
When I use User.findOne({}, 'name', function(err, user){.. I get back the first doc which is what I would expect. Please explain why the code above is not allowing me to get all documents. I feel like I'm using it the right way as show in the mongoose doc
Edit
thanks for help guys
i did like this:
app.get('/users', function (req, res){
User.find({}, 'name', function(err, users){
if(err){
console.log(err);
}else{
res.render('user-list', {
name : users.map(function(doc){
return doc.name + "<br>"
})
});
console.log('retrieved list of names' + users.name);
}
})
})
can some one please help me with getting each name on a new line the "<br>" shows up on the page but it doesn't make a new line "<br>,Joe<br>,mike<br>"
Jade:
extend layout
block content
p list of users #{name}

Answer 1

app.get('/users', function (req, res){
User.find({}, 'name', function(err, users){
if(err){
console.log(err);
} else{
res.render('user-list', users);
console.log('retrieved list of names', users.length, users[0].name);
}
})
});
As said in the comments, find can find many objects, so it returns an array as contrasted with findOne that returns a single object. Adjust for that as above and you should be back on track.

Answer 2

app.get(`/users`, async (req,res)=>{
try{
const users = await User.find({}).exec()
users && res.render('user-list',users)
}catch(error){
res.status(500).json({error})
}
})
//OR
app.get(`/users`, async (req,res)=>{
try{
const users = await User.find({}).exec()
const list = new Array()
for(let row of users){
list.push(`${users.name}<br>`)
}
list ? res.status(200).send(list) : res.status(200).json({message: 'Users list is empty'})
}catch(error){
res.status(500).json({error})
}
})
In second example you send to client a text line!!!
