I'm trying to use an async.each to ensure that my deep population is complete before I return the response. The issue I'm having is that the locations within the sites are never present. All I have returned are the sites from the first query. The results of the location query output to the console just fine though.
To summarise, the ID of a user is given. I then return the sites associated with that user and then populate the locations for that site.
getSitesForUser: function (req, res) {
var _id = req.param('id');
User.findOne({ id: _id })
.populate('sites')
.then(function afterFind(results) {
if (!results) {
return res.json({ status: 'failure', message: 'User not found' });
}
var sites = results.sites;
async.each(sites, function (site, cb) {
var locations = {};
Locations.find({ id: site.id })
.then(function afterFind(locResults) {
//locResults outputs correctly
sails.log.debug(locResults);
site.locations = locResults;
cb();
})
.fail(function (err) {
sails.log.debug(err);
cb(err);
})
}, function (err) {
if (err) {
sails.log.debug(err);
return res.json({ status: 'failure', message: 'Server error' });
} else {
return res.json({ status: 'success', message: 'Sites for found user', sites: sites });
}
});
})
.fail(function (err) {
sails.log.debug(err);
return res.json({ status: 'failure', message: 'Server error' });
});
}
Thanks in advance.
