Mongo, query a collection with a array

Question

I have this colleciton called organization:

[
  {
    \"_id\": \"53a58a02f1001e7fd28f5aec\",
    \"orgId\": 5,
          


        

Answer 1

You can match against fields within an array using dot-notation, so you can simplify your query to:

mongoose.model('organization')
    .find({'members.user': user}, function(err, usersOrganizations){
        callback.send(200, usersOrganization);
    }
);
