How to Retrieve All Users from MongoDB with Node.js

Are you trying to retrieve all users from a MongoDB database but feeling overwhelmed by the documentation? You’re not alone! Many developers encounter this challenge when beginning their journey with MongoDB and Node.js. In this guide, we’ll break down the process step-by-step to help you get all users and display them effectively on your web page.

Understanding the Problem

As your application grows, you'll need to manage user data efficiently. To work with user data in MongoDB using Node.js, you must create a backend controller that handles requests from the client-side (like React) and interacts with your MongoDB database. The main goal here is to set up a GET request that will allow you to fetch all users from your database.

Solution Overview

Here’s how you can retrieve all users from MongoDB with Node.js and Express:

Step 1: Create the Controller Function

In your mainController.js, you need to create a function that will handle the logic for fetching all users. This function will utilize the find method of your Mongoose model.

Step 2: Update the Router

Next, you need to make sure that your router is set up to respond to the request to fetch all users. Look for your main router file, likely named mainRouter.js, and add a new endpoint for it:

Step 3: Testing Your API Endpoint

Now that you have the backend ready, you can test your new endpoint. If you're using tools like Postman or Insomnia, you can send a GET request to http://your-server-address/user/all. You should receive a JSON response containing all user data from your MongoDB collection.

Step 4: Displaying Users in Your Frontend

Once your API is working correctly, the next step is to fetch this data on your front end. If you’re using React, it could look something like this:
