find.toArray returning an object of objects instead of an array

[duartegarin]

As the title says, find.toArray returning an object of objects instead of an array.
Is this by design?

I have the same problem with node-red-contrib-mongodb3 but using node-red-contrib-mongodb2 return an array.

node-red-contrib-mongodb3
return {0: object,1: object,2: object}

node-red-contrib-mongodb2
return [object, object, object]

Same pb. The problem was not present in 1.0.0 version.
In addition, the count operation returns an empty object (no value)

I'm sorry but I don't have time to work on this. We are no longer using Node-RED in my company so I don't have motivation to make that effort 😅
If any of you wants to send a Pull-Request that fixes the issue and test it, I'll accept it blindly.

a workaround would be to add a function node after the mongodb node and convert the object to an array within nodered:
var obj = msg.payload
obj = Object.keys(obj).map((key) => obj[key]);
msg.payload = obj
return msg;
