How to exclude some fields from the document

by

Another way to handle this on the schema level is to override toJSON for the model.

UserSchema.methods.toJSON = function() {
  var obj = this.toObject()
  delete obj.passwordHash
  return obj
}

I came across this question looking for a way to exclude password hash from the json i served to the client, and select: false broke my verifyPassword function because it didn’t retrieve the value from the database at all.
