Exclude fields from result in MongoDB monk

Question

I want to exclude some fields from result. I have code:

users = db.select(\'users\');

users.find( {}, { sort: { points:1 }, privateKey:0, publicKey:0}, func         


        

Answer 1

According to documentation first argument in find is filter and second is projection .But you have used sort . It will not able to interpret . You are trying to confuse projection with sort .Sorting should be after find and projection.

You can write projection like { field1: , field2: ... }

Note : The find() method always includes the _id field even if the field is not explicitly stated to return in the projection parameter.

 users.find({}, { privateKey: 0, publicKey: 0 }).sort({points: 1}).toArray(
           function (err, data) {
                      res.send(data);
             });
