Object returned from "create" is encrypted

[sukruavcuoglu]

Hi,

Thanks for providing this great library.

I have a problem with create operation. Objects returned from "create" operation has encrypted fields.

I have an example like below:

const userModel = getUserModel();
const createdUser = (
  await userModel.create([userDoc], { session: dbConn.session })
)[0];

Returned user is like this:

{
  id: 'some_user_id',
  email: 'XXXXXXXX_encrpyted_field_XXXXXXX',
  firstName: 'XXXXXXXX_encrpyted_field_XXXXXXX,
  lastName: 'XXXXXXXX_encrpyted_field_XXXXXXX',
  createdAt: 2023-07-24T09:02:45.408Z,
  createdBy: undefined,
  updatedAt: 2023-07-24T09:02:45.408Z,
  updatedBy: undefined,
}

Is there any future plan to change the behaviour?

For now, as a workaround, I am using "decryptFieldsSync" function on the object before returning.

Thanks.

@sukruavcuoglu From mongoose docs (https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/model.html#Model.create()) create is a shortcut to make the document and save it so it makes sense that the fields are then encrypted.

As you have already figured it out, you can use decryptSync to then get the original values back.
