In a middleware I have defined, my aim is to fetch and return a boolean value like this:
module.exports = {
authenticatepracticename: function(pname) {
ecollection.find({ $and: [{'name':pname},{'status' : 'active'}] }).exec(function (err, result) {
if (err) return false;
if(result.length == 1){
// console.log('true');
return true;
}
else{
// console.log('false');
return false;
}
});
},
// ...
}
This value needs to be sent back to my express controller in the following way:
exports.checkcredentails = function (req, res) {
var result = practice.authenticatepracticename(practiceName);
}
The issue I'm facing is that while the middleware function is being invoked, the returned value is undefined.
