Return Only 1 Field?

[senseiad]

Hi Dan

Trying to figure out how to only return one field from a find(), instead of the whole record/document?

I think in MongoDB you use {"name" : 1} where 1 is true.

Thanks

Hey Adam,

SculeJS doesn't currently support this. There's really no additional overhead associated with returning the entire document since what's actually returned is a reference and not a copy of the object. No new data is being loaded (other than the pointer), and no data is transfered since everything is happening inside the same context in the JavaScript virtual machine.

Cheers, Dan

Thanks Dan

Clearly this is a newbie question, but how do I then reference an individual field? Could you provide an example?

Hey Adam,

SculeJS documents are actually JavaScript objects, so accessing their fields uses the same notation as regular JavaScript code.

var scule = require('com.scule');
var collection = scule.factoryCollection('scule+dummy://test', {secret:'mysecret'});
var o = scule.find({i:{$gte:10}});
o.forEach(function(document) {
   console.log(document.i);
   document.i = 3;
   console.log(document.i);
});
