Node show user info by id

I have a simple profile that can everybody see without any auth. I want to display the firstname and lastname but I'm unable to do it.

firstname

lastname

Here is my code.

// Profile
router.get("/profile/:id", function (req, res)
User.findById(req.params.id, function (err, doc)
if (err)
console.log(err);
return;
else
res.render('users/profile',
title: 'Profile',
User
);
console.log(User.firstname);

);
);


I get only undefined in the console.

undefined

You are getting the data from the wrong place, you need to use the callback data and don't the model object:

router.get("/profile/:id", function (req, res)
User.findById(req.params.id, function(err, doc)
if(err)
return;
else
res.render('users/profile', title: 'Profile', doc);
console.log(doc, doc.firstname);

);
);


Changing title: 'Profile', User to title: 'Profile', doc.

title: 'Profile', User

title: 'Profile', doc
