I am new to Node.js and mongoose. I have tried a lot of things but not able to get the result I want.
Can someone help who knows how, who has faced this problem before or knows the solution of that problem?
Below is my database screen where 3 records are insured like below.
I have written this code and it returns the result shown below:
router.get("/categoryFields", async (request, response) => {
const categories = await categoryModel.find({}).select("parentId title slug");
try {
response.send(categories);
} catch (error) {
response.status(500).send(error);
}
});
JSON result =>
[
{
"_id": "61779e5c1e4ed11e96301ccd",
"title": "Clothing",
"slug": "hello"
},
{
"_id": "61779e8d1e4ed11e96301ccf",
"parentId": "61779e5c1e4ed11e96301ccd",
"title": "Shoe",
"slug": ""
},
{
"_id": "6177c1cd6d3e170ae58c89c3",
"title": "Electric",
"slug": ""
}
]
But I need to get a result like this - I want parentID
in every object:
[
{
"_id": "61779e5c1e4ed11e96301ccd",
"parentId": "",
"title": "Clothing",
"slug": "hello"
},
{
"_id": "61779e8d1e4ed11e96301ccf",
"parentId": "61779e5c1e4ed11e96301ccd",
"title": "Shoe",
"slug": ""
},
{
"_id": "6177c1cd6d3e170ae58c89c3",
"parentId": "",
"title": "Electric",
"slug": ""
}
]
Please can anyone help me how to do this in mongoose?
