I have a schema exported like that:
const PackageSchema = new Schema({
name: { type: String, required: true },
maneuver: [
{
maneuverId: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
required: true,
ref: ManeuverMainly,
},
period: { type: String, enum: ["day", "night"], required: true },
},
],
timestamp: { type: Date, default: Date.now() },
});
When I make a find()
like that:
Package.find().populate("maneuver", "name").exec((err, data) => {
if (err) {
res.status(500).send({ message: "Failed!" });
return;
}
res.status(200).send(data);
});
My populate
method does not work. How can I populate my every maneuverId
from PackageSchema
with my name
column from ManeuverMainlySchema
?
Obs: my ManeuverMainlySchema
bellow:
const ManeuverMainlySchema = new Schema({
name: { type: String, required: true },
description: { type: String, required: true },
timestamp: { type: Date, default: Date().now },
});
taken from Mongoose populate with array of objects containing ref you have to specify the field within the object of the array you want to populate against.
Package.find().populate("maneuver.maneuverId", "name").exec((err, data) => {
if (err) {
res.status(500).send({ message: "Failed!" });
return;
}
res.status(200).send(data);
});
