node mongodb 3.4 using find with specify fields and toArray does not filter results [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:




  • batchSize field name ignored in Field Projection

    2 answers




Again, using mongo v3.4 and referencing these docs: https://docs.mongodb.com/v3.4/tutorial/project-fields-from-query-results/



My example looks like:



    const m = this.getCollection(SOME_COLLECTION);
m.find({
'_id': {
$nin: [Ace, Bay],
},
'value.someCategory': {
$type: 'object',
},
}, {
'_id': 0,
'value.someCategory': 1,
}).toArray((err, doc) => {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(doc);
}
});


My doc array will return all items that follow my filter of value.someCategory of type object, but will not remove the _id and will return all fields even though I'd like to specify only the value.someCategory field.



Example data in mongo:



[
{
_id: 'hello',
value: {
someCategory: [Object],
name: 'hello',
otherCategory: true,
}
},
{
_id: 'Ace',
value: {
someCategory: [Object],
name: 'Ace',
otherCategory: true,
}
},
{
_id: 'testing',
value: {
someCategory: null,
name: 'testing',
otherCategory: true,
}
},
]


And expect the result to be:



[
{
someCategory: [Object],
},
]


Based on the docs linked above, the specified fields should be the second param. I'm wondering now if the use of toArray affects the return value?

          Use .project cursor method instead



          db.collection('collection')
          .find({ '_id': { '$nin': [Ace, Bay] }, 'value.someCategory': { '$type': 'object' }})
          .project({ '_id': 0, 'value.someCategory': 1 })

            great! ty for the quick reply. I tested just now and works :) One slight difference is that the returned value is included within the key value field like: [{ value: { someCategory: [Object] }}]. Just wanted to mention this if anyone references this question/answer so they know. Thanks!

            If you want to someCategory to top level then you have to use aggregation here. Find query can only filter and limit the data but cannot reshape the output result.

          use select function and define your required field to projection.



          const m = await Model.find({
          '_id': {
          $nin: [Ace, Bay],
          },
          'value.someCategory': {
          $type: 'object',
          },
          }).select('-_id value.someCategory').lean();

          console.log(m)
