Mongoose query via Angular variable - angularjs

Question

I´m trying to query my mongoose model with an angular variable - an email adress.
I´ve got a variable from passport with contains the email <%= user.local.email %>.
The $http.getfor my Model looks like this:
app.get('/profile/project/:mail', function (req, res, next){
Project.findOne(req.params.mail, function (err, doc){
if(err) return next(err);
res.json(doc);
});
});
I can´t figure out how to pass the mail adress with the angular controller, to the GET request.
My try:
$http.get('/profile/project/' + <%= user.local.email %>).then(function (res){
$scope.project = res.data;
});
});
Setting the findOne parameter to a fixed mail adress worked, but I´ve got no idea how to pass the mail adress with the angular controller.
Hope you can help me.
Best regards, David
Update using passport
Getting near the solution, but now I only get the first data entry of my DB.
Sum it up, my route:
app.get('/profile/project/', function (req, res, next){
Project.findOne(req.user.local.email, function (err, doc){
if (err) return next(err);
if (!doc) return next(new Error('cant find'));
console.log(doc);
res.json(doc);
});
});
My angular controller:
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('projectCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
$http.get('/profile/project/').then(function (res){
$scope.project = res.data;
});
});
</script>
Passport works,I can log in and show the email address on the profile page. But with this route I´m just getting the first [0] entry from my database.

Answer 1

Are you sure you want angular to pass this variable?
If it's in passport, then it's likely the user's own email? If so then you should just look it up entirely on the backend.
If the email is really being passed from angular, then it doesn't make sense to have it in passport at all, and you would just pass it as a js var.
Edit
findOne should only return one result. Maybe you need to use find if you are trying to get multiple records.

Got the solution. Big thanks to #Austin_Greco!
Route:
app.get('/profile/project/', isLoggedIn, function (req, res, next){
Project.findOne({'author' : req.user.local.email}, function (err, doc){
if (err) return next(err);
if (!doc) return next(new Error('cant find'));
console.log(doc);
res.json(doc);
});
});
Angular Controller:
$http.get('/profile/project/').then(function (res){
$scope.project = res.data;
});
