Mongoose: multiple query populate in a single call

Question

In Mongoose, I can use a query populate to populate additional fields after a query. I can also populate multiple paths, such as

Person.find({})
 .populate(\         


        

Answer 1

After looking into the sourcecode of mongoose, I solved this with:

var populateQuery = [{path:'books', select:'title pages'}, {path:'movie', select:'director'}];

Person.find({})
 .populate(populateQuery)
 .execPopulate()
