Mongoose model access nested array

[Abhiram Talluri]

Hie,

I have a schema this way.

{

            username: { type: String, required: true, index: { unique: true } },

            password: { type: String, required: true },

            email : { type: String},

            countryname : { type: String},

            country_id : Schema.Types.ObjectId,

            children: [

                    id: Schema.Types.ObjectId,

                    child_name: String,

                    grade_id: Schema.Types.ObjectId,

                    grade :  { type: String },

                    total_gold: { type: Number},

                    total_diamonds:{ type: Number},

                    total_hearts: { type: Number},

                    subjects: []

            ]

}

How can i access subjects array which is internally stored in children array using mongoose?

Hi Abhiram. The syntax you are looking for to access the subjects array of the ith element of the children array, assuming a document of the type above stored in a var user, is

user.children[i].subjects

e.g., in the above,

user.children[0].subjects.length == 0

evaluates to true.
