MongoError: must have $meta projection for all $meta sort keys using Mongo DB Native NodeJS Driver

Question

Running the following text search directly on MongoDB results in no issues:

db.getCollection(\'schools\').find({
  $text:
    {
      $search: \'some query s         


        

Answer 1

In the current version of the native MongoDB driver, you need to include the projection key among the options for find:

const results = await collection.find(
  {
    $text: { $search: filter }
  },
  {
    projection: { score: { $meta: 'textScore' } },
    sort: { score: { $meta: 'textScore' } },
  }
).toArray();
