const categorySchema = mongoose.Schema({
name: {
required: true,
type: String
}
});
const productSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
category: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.Mixed,
ref: "Category",
required: true
}
});
As you see above I have two models where I am using Category inside Product.
Now I want to fetch all the products by passing a particular Category or its id as _id which gets generated by default by mongodb.
Although I am achieving the desired result do this below:
const id = req.query.categoryId;//getting this from GET REQUEST
let tempProducts = [];
let products = await Product.find({});
products.forEach(product => {
if (product.category._id===id){
tempProducts.push(product);
}
});
It gets me what I want to achieve but still I want to know how to get it using "find" function. or this what I am doing is the only way.
