title: Mongodb count issue, object object
body: <p>I have a node.js server that calls a function that needs to query a Mongodb database. </p>
  
  <pre><code>exports.zonetotal = function(db) {
    return function(req, res) {
      var inZone1 = 2;
      inZone1 = db.collection('driveby').count();
  var items = [
      {"zone":"1" , "number":inZone1}
   ]; 
      {
        res.json(items);
      }
    }
  };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to use this function and display the results in a table on a webpage i just get a  result that says object object. If I just say var inZone1 = 2; then the number displays so I do not think that it is an issue with the way I am trying to send the data, I think that it is an issue with the query. Any ideas, thanks.</p>
