How to get data from mongodb after saving it using nodejs?

My web application is like quiz app, the user should answer a question and the server will store the user's result in mongoDB database. what I is want is after saving the document in the database I want to get this document to send it to user in the browser note saving documents works fine. code looks like this (assuming the user's result is 10):

    const User_Result = require("../models/result_model")

router.post("/quiz/results", (req, res)=>{
       var result = new User_Result({
            _id: req.user._id,
            userResult: 10
      })
      result.save()


     //that should get data and send it but it send empty []
     User_Result.find({_id: req.user._id}).then(data=>{
            res.send(data)
        })
})

I think the problem that it looks for the data before saving it.

You don't need to use find as .save() will return the saved document you can just use it

Async/Await version

router.post("/quiz/results", async (req, res)=>{
       let result = new User_Result({
            _id: req.user._id,
            userResult: 10
      })
       const ReturnedResult = await result.save();
       return res.status(201).json(ReturnedResult);
})

Promise Version

router.post("/quiz/results",  (req, res) => {
    let result = new User_Result({
      _id: req.user._id,
      userResult: 10
    })
    result.save()
      .then(ReturnedResult =>return res.status(201).json(ReturnedResult))
      .catch(err => return res.status(500).json(err))

  })

      const newResult = await result.save():
       return res.send(newResult).status(201);

result.save() returns a promise, you should wait for it to be resolved:

result.save().then(() => {
  User_Result.find({_id: req.user._id}).then(data=>{
    res.send(data)
  })
})
