            .where('categoryId.active').equals(true)
            .where('display').in('categoryId').equals(true)
            .exec(function (err, data) {
            if (err) {
                console.log(err);
                console.log('error returned');
                res.send(500, { error: 'Failed insert' });
            }

            if (!data) {

            }

            res.send(200, data);
            console.log('success generate List');
