.exec()

Execute a Waterline query instance.

query.exec(function afterwards(err, result) {

});

Usage

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

Callback

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

Example

Zookeeper.find().exec(function (err, zookeepers) {
  if (err) {
    // uh oh
    // (handle error; e.g. `return res.negotiate()`)
    return;
  }

  // would you look at all those zookeepers?
  // (now let's do the next thing;
  //  e.g. `_.reduce(zookeepers, ...)` and/or `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.
