How to add field to mongoose query result?

exports.getCityCascade = function (req, res) {
var result = {};
Province.find().exec(function (err, provinces) {
    result.provinces = provinces;
    var provinceCount = 0;
    async.whilst(
        function () {
            return provinceCount < provinces.length
        }
        , function (callback) {
            City.find({province: provinces[provinceCount].id}).exec(function (err, cities) {
                if (err) {
                    callback(err);
                } else {
                    result.provinces[provinceCount].cities =cities;  
                }
                provinceCount++;
                callback(null , result);
            });
        }, function (err, result) {
            if (err) return res.jsonp({message: err.message});
            return res.jsonp({
                status: '200',
                results: result});
        }
    )
})
}

When I add the cities field to provinces, It seems doesn't work. the response body doesn't contain the filed cities. How to fix it? Any advice would be very helpful.

The problem is just a conflict between variable names: you declared a var result outside Province.find(), but the async.whilst() also uses result as the second argument of its callback function. Just rename one of them and it should work.
