Check if ID exists in a collection with mongoose

Question

For instance, I have a collection User:

var mongoose = require(\'mongoose\');

var UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    email: String,
    googleI         


        

Answer 1

You can now use User.exists() as of September 2019 like so:

const doesUserExit = await User.exists({ _id: userID });

From the docs:

Under the hood, MyModel.exists({ answer: 42 }) is equivalent to MyModel.findOne({ answer: 42 }).select({ _id: 1 }).lean().then(doc => !!doc)
