Getting specific fields in deepPopulate

[mariohmol]

Hi there!

I have kind of cascading collections and i would like to take just one atribute at the end of the chain. Instead it is taking all the fields for the hole chain.

For example, i have:

Chat -> Order -> Sellers -> Users -> email

Chat.findById(id)
.deepPopulate("order.sellers.users.email")

This brings me all the data for the order, seller and users, and not just the email for the user.

Is it possible to achieve that with deep-populate?

Tested whitelist as well but didnt worked, ex:

Chat.findById(id)
.deepPopulate("order.sellers.users", {
whitelist: ["users.email", "order.sellers.users.email", "email"]
})

Thanks!

Forget about it.. found that mongoose itself can do it, exemple

    .populate({ 
      path: 'order',
      populate: {
        path: 'buyers',
        select: {'users': 1},
        model: 'Buyer',
        populate: {
          path: 'users',
          select: {'email': 1},
          model: 'User'
        }
      } 
    })

bests!
