I am attempting to showcase an employee's ID by displaying only the last four digits in a table on an EJS page. The data is stored in MongoDB and I am using Express for handling routes.
Here is my Express route:
app.get('/routehere', async (req, res) => {
const expressModelName = await expressModelName.find({})
res.render('employee.ejs', {expressModelName});
})
Next, here is the for loop in the EJS file:
<% for (var i = 0; i < expressModelName.length; i++) {%>
<div> styling here</div>
<%= expressModelName[i].id %>
I am trying to display only the last four digits of the ID. I have attempted:
id.toString.substring(5,8)
id.slice(5)
Since the ID is a number, I understand that I must first convert it to a string before using substring. However, when I try this approach, I receive an error stating that "id.toString()" is not a function.
I also experimented with a forEach loop, but I am less comfortable with them compared to for loops:
<% expressModelName.forEach(function(result) {%>
result.id.toString()
However, this results in a 'catch' error.
