Mongoose populate with array of objects containing ref

Question

I have a Mongoose schema with an array lists of objects that consist of a reference to another collection and a nested array of numbers:

var Sch         


        

Answer 1

Actual answer:

Use this,

populate('lists.list')

Extra:

Here are lists are an array of objects (list). In JS you can access this like that,

console.log(lists.list);

and MongoDB syntax is 99% similar to JS syntax. so you can also populate this using lists.list.
