I am currently working on a project in Express JS where I am using Mongoose to interact with MongoDB. Currently, I am able to fill a select control in my view using the following code:
app.get('/new_alumno', alumno.create);
However, I now have a requirement to populate multiple select controls, but I am unsure of how to pass more than two values from my controller to the view.
The app.js file in my project contains the following code:
var express = require('express');
// Other dependencies and configurations
// Reference to the controllers
var alumno = require('./controllers/ctrl_alumno');
// Relevant routes
app.get('/', routes.index);
app.get('/alumnos', alumno.listalumnos);
// Other routes
http.createServer(app).listen(app.get('port'), function(){
console.log('Express server listening on port ' + app.get('port'));
});
Within my controller ctrl_alumno.js, I have the following code:
// Connection to MongoDB
// Models and schemas definition
exports.create = function(req, res, next){
Carrera.find(getCarreras);
function getCarreras(err, carrera){
if(err)
{
console.log(err);
return next();
}
return res.render('newalumno',{title:'Lista de alumnos', carreras: carrera});
};
};
And finally, my student view looks like this:
While I have been successful in populating a single select control using Mongoose, I am facing challenges in passing multiple values or filling multiple select controls. Any guidance or assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
