How does Query.prototype.catch() work in Mongoose ?
Last Updated :

The Query.prototype.catch() function executes the query and returns a promise which can be resolved with either the doc(s) or rejected with the error.
Syntax:
Query.prototype.catch()
Parameters: This function has one parameter i.e. a reject callback function.
Return Value: This function returns a promise.
Installing mongoose :
npm install mongoose
After installing the mongoose module, you can check your mongoose version in command prompt using the command.
npm mongoose --version
After that, you can just create a folder and add a file for example, index.js as shown below.
Database: The sample database used here is shown below:
Example 1:
index.js
const mongoose = require( 'mongoose' );
useNewUrlParser: true ,
useCreateIndex: true ,
useUnifiedTopology: true
});
const User = mongoose.model( 'User' , {
name: { type: String },
age: { type: Number }
});
const promise = User.find({age: "Not a number" });
promise. catch ( function (error) {
console.log( "Error Occurred:" , error.message)
})
|
The project structure will look like this:
Run index.js file using below command:
node index.js
Output:
Error Occurred: Cast to Number failed for value
"Not a number" at path "age" for model "User"
Example 2:
index.js
const express = require( 'express' );
const mongoose = require( 'mongoose' );
const app = express();
useNewUrlParser: true ,
useCreateIndex: true ,
useUnifiedTopology: true
});
const User = mongoose.model( 'User' , {
name: { type: String },
age: { type: Number }
});
const promise = User.find({ age: "Not a number" });
promise. catch ( function (error) {
console.log( "Error Occurred:" , error.message)
})
app.listen(3000, function (error ) {
if (error) console.log(error)
console.log( "Server listening on PORT 3000" )
})
|
The project structure will look like this:
Run index.js file using below command:
node index.js
Output:
Server listening on PORT 3000
Error Occurred: Cast to Number failed for value
"Not a number" at path "age" for model "User"
