How to do field selection on find() in the mongodb native driver?

Question

I am using the mongodb native driver for node.js and can\'t get to work the field selection. What I want to do is to limit fields to name. I do not want the \'last\' in the outp

Answer 1

The field selection argument to find is an object, not an array. And you can't mix field inclusion and exclusion (except for _id), so it should be:

db.collection("test").find({}, {'name': true}).toArray(function(err, results) {
    console.dir(results);
});
