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

Looks like you have a few options.

1) Use select('-_id'). 2) Use find({whatever: values}, '-_id', callback...}. I can't verify this method, but if it works with select(), I don't see why it wouldn't work here.
