`.exec()`

Execute a Waterline query instance.

usage

.exec(function (err, result) {

})

As of Sails v1 and Node.js v8, you can take advantage of await instead of using this method.

Usage

	Argument	Type	Details
1	callback	((function))	The Node-style callback that will be called when the query completes, successfully or otherwise.

Callback

	Argument	Type	Details
1	err	((Error?))	The Error that occurred, or `undefined` if there were no errors.
2	result	((Ref?))	The result from the database, if any. Exact data type depends on the query. If an error occurred (i.e. `err` is truthy), then this result argument should be ignored.

Example

javascript

Zookeeper.find().exec((err, zookeepers)=>{
  if (err) {
    return res.serverError(err);
  }

  // would you look at all those zookeepers?
  return res.json(zookeepers);
});
//
// (don't put code out here)

Notes

If you don't run .exec() or use promises, your query will not execute. For help using .exec() with model methods like .find(), read more about the chainable query object.
