Mongoose, Select a specific field with find

by

The _id field is always present unless you explicitly exclude it. Do so using the - syntax:

exports.someValue = function(req, res, next) {
    //query with mongoose
    var query = dbSchemas.SomeValue.find({}).select('name -_id');

    query.exec(function (err, someValue) {
        if (err) return next(err);
        res.send(someValue);
    });
};

Or explicitly via an object:

exports.someValue = function(req, res, next) {
    //query with mongoose
    var query = dbSchemas.SomeValue.find({}).select({ "name": 1, "_id": 0});

    query.exec(function (err, someValue) {
        if (err) return next(err);
        res.send(someValue);
    });
};
