Mongoose use of .select() method

Question

I\'m pretty confused with the use of the select method. This is how I use it, and it\'s wrong:

Transaction.find({username : user.username}).sele         


        

Answer 1

To retrieve certain fields without retrieving the '_id' you can specify to exclude it

Model.find({}, {'Username':1, '_id':0}, function ( err, docs ){}.....
