When performing a $lookup on my schemas, it always return an empty array. What am I doing wrong?
Result Collection
const resultSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
trial: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'Trial',
required: true
}
});
Trial Collection
const trialSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
}
});
Aggregate
Result.aggregate([
{
$lookup: {
from: 'trial',
localField: 'trial',
foreignField: '_id',
as: 'x'
}
}
])
.exec()
.then(results => ({ results }))
"x" ends up being always an empty array in the end.
Ok just found the answer right here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45481516/3415561
The "from" field in lookup must be your collection name and not the model name. Therefore it's a plural word. Here it's
from: 'trials'
instead of
from: 'trial'
check collection name. In aggregate function 'trial' starts lowercase, in results collection 'Trial' starts uppercase
In my case I had mistakenly put a $ in front of the collection name:
{$lookup: {
from: '$users', // <- incorrect
foreignField: '_id',
localField: 'userid',
as: 'users'
}},
it needed to be
{$lookup: {
from: 'users', // <- correct
foreignField: '_id',
localField: 'userid',
as: 'users'
}},
