query returning selected properties of object

[CCVonLewin]

Greetings,

Can one specify select properties of an object to be returned in a find?

DB OBJ:

{ id: N, name: X, color: Z }

cursor.findOne( {"id": N}, {"select":["color"]}, function ( err, result ) { 

    console.log( result );

 });

 

In the above, the idea is that "result" would only contain { color: Z } rather then the entire object.

Best <

that's what the "fields" option is for

Here's the docs for findOne with details on the "fields" option. http://mongodb.github.io/node-mongodb-native/api-generated/collection.html#findone

Excellent, thank you. I feel slightly silly asking after having looked over the github docs again under querying.
