Find one (blueprint)
Look up the record with the specified id from the database, and (if possible) subscribe to the record in order to hear about any future changes.
GET /:model/:id
The findOne() blueprint action returns a single record from the model (given by :model) as a JSON object. The specified id is the primary key of the desired record.
If the action was triggered via a socket request, the requesting socket will be "subscribed" to the returned record. If the record is subsequently updated or deleted, a message will be sent to that socket's client informing them of the change. See the .subscribe() docs for more info.
