[Fixed] MongoDB: How to take an query and make it a variable on nodejs?

Issue

I have the following code:

app.get('/', async (req, res) => {
        let results = await db.collection("malwarepad-website").find("6047667ff156cb8135bdaa88").toArray()
        console.log(results)
        res.render('index.ejs', { startText: results });
    })

I want to have it console.log ONLY the Hello, and welcome to my website…: Image 1 WITHOUT the parenthesis. I found something but it console.loged this:

[ { _id: 6047667ff156cb8135bdaa88,
    mainPage:
     'Hello, and welcome to my website. I don\'t know how you found me but you\'re welcome :) You can find a lot of cool things, such as software, malware e.t.c.' } ]

How can I manage to archive that?
Thank you for all the answers.

EDIT: Someone’s answer in the comments:

results.forEach(r => console.log(r.mainPage));

But now how can I use pass this to a variable?

Solution

You are using Mongo’s find method combined with the toArray() cursor method which returns (no surprise) an array of documents.

When you "print" an array the convention in javascript/nodejs is [ ... array content ... ], as in with the parenthesis.

So you have two options:

1. Use findOne instead of find, fineOne returns a single document

const results = await db.collection("malwarepad-website").findOne("6047667ff156cb8135bdaa88")
console.log(results)

2. Just access the array for the first / all results:

let results = await db.collection("malwarepad-website").find("6047667ff156cb8135bdaa88").toArray()
console.log(results[0]) 

// OR FOR MULTIPLE RESULTS //
let results = await db.collection("malwarepad-website").find("6047667ff156cb8135bdaa88").toArray()
results.forEach((result) => console.log(result))
