如何关闭 mongoose 中的严格填充？

Question

How can you populate something that is not in the schema? Mongoose is throwing the error Cannot populate path 'example' because it is not in your schema. Set the 'strictPopulate' option to false to override. Cannot populate path 'example' because it is not in your schema. Set the 'strictPopulate' option to false to override.

I tried adding strictPopulate: false to the Schema and the query. Both didn't work.

Answer 1

It seems this works for me

 document.populate([{ path: keyString, strictPopulate: false }]);

Answer 2

Suppose you have a product orderItem inside orderList . You can't populate producy when reading orderList , instead you can use:

.populate({ path: "orderItems", populate: "product" });
