Export result of a forEach function - meteor

Question

I've got a forEach function on a collection
const docs = Docs.find({"owner": userId}, {fields: {"recipients": 1}});
docs.forEach(({ recipients }) => {
var docsRecipients = recipients;
//log #1
console.log(docsRecipients);
});
var docsRecipientsFinal = docsRecipients;
//log #2
console.log(docsRecipientsFinal);
The #1 console.log returns correct results, not the #2 (of course, this is just to be understood).
How can I export the result of the forEach function, for using it outside of the loop ? Thanks.

Answer 1

Assuming you want an array
const docs = Docs.find({"owner": userId}, {fields: {"recipients": 1}});
var docsRecipients = []; //define it outside the forEach scope
docs.forEach(({ recipients }) => {
docsRecipients.push(recipients);
console.log(docsRecipients);
});
var docsRecipientsFinal = docsRecipients;
//log #2
console.log(docsRecipientsFinal);
Update :
Just use
var docRecipients = Docs.find({"owner": userId}, {fields: {"recipients": 1}}).fetch();

Answer 2

In Meteor, there is no need to even iterate over the collection, just use the cursor's .fetch() method. It returns an array of documents.
const docs = Docs.find({
"owner": userId
}, {
fields: {
"recipients": 1
}
}).fetch();

Answer 3

the scope of docsRecipients is within the foreach block, to access the docsRecipients value declare it as a global variable above foreach,also this will store the last index value of foreach.
sample foreach
var docsRecipients="";
docs.forEach(({ recipients }) => {
docsRecipients = recipients;
//log #1
console.log(docsRecipients);
});
var docsRecipientsFinal = docsRecipients;
//log #2
console.log(docsRecipientsFinal);
