If I have this schema...

person = {
    name : String,
    favoriteFoods : Array
}

... where the favoriteFoods array is popula

Answer 1

In case that the array contains objects for example if favouriteFoods is an array of objects of the following:

  type: 'Japanese'
}

you can use the following query:

PersonModel.find({"favouriteFoods.name": "Sushi"});
