Can't use variable field of mongodb in javascript

I have retrieved one document from mongodb, in that I have one array and I want to loop through that array but I can’t do that. If I loop through that it consider whole array as one element, this is my code:

const project = await Project.findOne({
    embedId: inititalData.embedId
});
console.log(project.variables,typeof project.variables,project.variables[0], "project")

const variables = project.variables;
console.log('Variables array:', variables);

// Check type and individual elements
console.log('Type of variables:', typeof variables);
if (variables instanceof Array) {
  console.log('First variable:', variables[0]);
} else {
  console.error('Variables is not an array');
}

Very recent output:

  nodes: [
    {
      id: 'start101',
      type: 'startNode',
      data: [Object],

👇project.variables       👇typeof project.variables 👇 project.variables[0]
[ 'var1', 'var2', 'var3' ] object                     undefined                 project


Variables array: [ 'var1', 'var2', 'var3' ]
Type of variables: object
Variables is not an array

Tried to loop through array I have done this

var obj;
project.variables.forEach((var) => {
   obj[var]=""
}

I got this output:

[['var1','var2','var3']]:""

Here is the expected output:

{
   'var1':"",
   'var2':"",
   'var3':"",
}

    This issue was created by mongoose, which was wrapping the object before I use it. I fixed it with:

    const project = await Project.findOne({
    embedId: inititalData.embedId
}).lean();

    Did you try to decompose your data this way:

    const { variables } = data;

    And then loop over this way:

    variables.forEach(variable => {
console.log(variable); 
});

    Then at the end you could do this:

    const { variables } = data;
const obj = {};
variables.forEach(variable => {
obj[variable] = '';
});
console.log(obj);

    Output: { var1: ”, var2: ”, var3: ” }
