Can't get Mongoose.js Subdocument Array to populate

Question

I\'m using mongoose.js on a node.js server connecting to mongodb and I have a mongoose model like the following

SubSchema = new Schema({
    _member:     {type:          


        

Answer 1

I had several nest layers deep of sub docs, and none of the supplied options worked for me. I found this amazing Mongoose plugin that will do deep population seamlessly. You just use the same syntax you would expect to work with populate, but it actually works.
