Mongodb Nodejs Help Needed ASAP! by Nobody: 1:32pm On Nov 26, 2017 |
MongoDB just wasted my 1 hour! I want to create Collection from the front end (through user submitted form). The problem is I just can't find a way to CHECK IF THE COLLECTION ALREADY EXIST. I'm using nodeJs and I want something like: if( collectionExists(collectionTitle) ) //boolean: true Please, is there such solution or any solution at all? I have tried tricks like: if(collectionTitle.find({field: value}).count() !== 'undefined') // This throws error I know there are work around like forcing the user to select from existing Collection and only try to create it if it doesn't exist. I don't want to use that. |

I'm just a beginner i think you can have a variable somewhere that holds the lisT the names of any collection created .. So that when A user from the frontend whats to create a collection , you program just searches through the list to chech if it exist .. |

Try this db.listCollections({name: collName}) .next(function(err, collinfo) { if (collinfo) { // The collection exists } }); 1 Like |
