mongoose findOne code example

Example 1: mongoose findoneandupdate

// note: this uses async/await so it assumes the whole thing 
// is in an async function 

const doc = await CharacterModel.findOneAndUpdate(
  { name: 'Jon Snow' },
  { title: 'King in the North' },
  // If `new` isn't true, `findOneAndUpdate()` will return the
  // document as it was _before_ it was updated.
  { new: true }
);

doc.title; // "King in the North"

Example 2: mongoose find() example

// find all documents
await MyModel.find({});

// find all documents named john and at least 18
await MyModel.find({ name: 'john', age: { $gte: 18 } }).exec();

// executes, passing results to callback
MyModel.find({ name: 'john', age: { $gte: 18 }}, function (err, docs) {});

// executes, name LIKE john and only selecting the "name" and "friends" fields
await MyModel.find({ name: /john/i }, 'name friends').exec();

// passing options
await MyModel.find({ name: /john/i }, null, { skip: 10 }).exec();

Example 3: findbyid mongoose

// Find the adventure with the given `id`, or `null` if not found
await Adventure.findById(id).exec();

// using callback
Adventure.findById(id, function (err, adventure) {});

// select only the adventures name and length
await Adventure.findById(id, 'name length').exec();

Example 4: mongodb findone

itemsCollection.findOne(query, projection)
  .then(result => {
    if(result) {
      console.log(`Successfully found document: ${result}.`);
    } else {
      console.log("No document matches the provided query.");
    }
    return result;
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(`Failed to find document: ${err}`));

Example 5: findone and update mongoose

// Using queries with promise chaining
Model.findOne({ name: 'Mr. Anderson' }).
  then(doc => Model.updateOne({ _id: doc._id }, { name: 'Neo' })).
  then(() => Model.findOne({ name: 'Neo' })).
  then(doc => console.log(doc.name)); // 'Neo'

// Using queries with async/await
const doc = await Model.findOne({ name: 'Neo' });
console.log(doc.name); // 'Neo'

Example 6: mongoose select

// include a and b, exclude other fields
query.select('a b');
// Equivalent syntaxes:
query.select(['a', 'b']);
query.select({ a: 1, b: 1 });

// exclude c and d, include other fields
query.select('-c -d');

// Use `+` to override schema-level `select: false` without making the
// projection inclusive.
const schema = new Schema({
  foo: { type: String, select: false },
  bar: String
});
// ...
query.select('+foo'); // Override foo's `select: false` without excluding `bar`

// or you may use object notation, useful when
// you have keys already prefixed with a "-"
query.select({ a: 1, b: 1 });
query.select({ c: 0, d: 0 });
