Querying after populate in Mongoose

Question

I\'m pretty new to Mongoose and MongoDB in general so I\'m having a difficult time figuring out if something like this is possible:

Item = new Schema({
             


        

Answer 1

Try replacing

.populate('tags').where('tags.tagName').in(['funny', 'politics']) 

by

.populate( 'tags', null, { tagName: { $in: ['funny', 'politics'] } } )
