Mongoose/MongoDB result fields appear undefined in Javascript

Question

Is there something that I\'m missing that would allow item to log as an object with a parameter, but when I try to access that parameter, it\'s undefined?

What I\'ve

Answer 1

A better way to tackle an issue like this is using doc.toObject() like this

doc.toObject({ getters: true })

other options include:

• getters: apply all getters (path and virtual getters)
• virtuals: apply virtual getters (can override getters option)
• minimize: remove empty objects (defaults to true)
• transform: a transform function to apply to the resulting document before returning
• depopulate: depopulate any populated paths, replacing them with their original refs (defaults to false)
• versionKey: whether to include the version key (defaults to true)

so for example you can say

Model.findOne().exec((err, doc) => {
   if (!err) {
      doc.toObject({ getters: true })
      console.log('doc _id:', doc._id) // or title
   }
})

and now it will work
