Where is my data in MongoDB?

JavaScript

Hello there,

Just to mention it for reduced confusion: The freeCodeCamp tests delete the records in your database after adding them. From what I can see, there should be no documents left in your database, unless you manually added them:

const createPeople = require("./myApp.js").createManyPeople;
router.post("/create-many-people", function (req, res, next) {
  Person.remove({}, function (err) {
    if (err) {
      return next(err);
    }
    // in case of incorrect function use wait timeout then respond
    let t = setTimeout(() => {
      next({ message: "timeout" });
    }, TIMEOUT);
    createPeople(req.body, function (err, data) {
      clearTimeout(t);
      if (err) {
        return next(err);
      }
      if (!data) {
        console.log("Missing `done()` argument");
        return next({ message: "Missing callback argument" });
      }
      Person.find({}, function (err, pers) {
        if (err) {
          return next(err);
        }
        res.json(pers);
        Person.remove().exec();
      });
    });
  });
});

Hope this helps
