The findOne() function is used to find one document according to the condition. If multiple documents match the condition, then it returns the first document satisfying the condition. 

Syntax:

Model.findOne(id)

Parameters:

  • Model: This is the name of the collection used to retrieve the document corresponding to the provided ID.
  • id: This is the identifier for the document you intend to locate.
  • callback: `findOne` also accepts a callback function, which can manage errors or perform actions with the retrieved document.
