Multiple populates - mongoosejs

Question

Just a simple query, for example with a double ref in the model.

Schema / Model

var OrderSchema = new Schema({

    user: {
                 


        

Answer 1

You're already using the correct syntax of:

OrderModel.find()
    .populate('user')
    .populate('meal')
    .exec(function (err, results) {
         // callback
    });

Perhaps the meal ObjectId from the order isn't in the Meals collection?
