Mongoose Virtuals in MongoDB Aggregate

Question

My Mongoose Schema is as follows:

var DSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  original_y: {type: Number},,
  new_y: {type: Number},,
  date: {type: Date},
  dummy         


        

Answer 1

the : <1 or true> form is used to include an existing field which is not the case here since the dateformatted field doesn't exist and you have to create it using an expression, $dateToString can be used:

"$project": {
  "original_y": 1, 
  "new_y": 1,
  "dateformatted": { "$dateToString": { "format": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", "date": "$date" } },
  ...

Another option is to use it with $addFields:

{
  "$project": {
    ...
  }
},
{
  "$addFields": {
    "dateformatted": { "$dateToString": {"format": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", "date": "$date"} }
  }
},
...
