Answer 1

Since you are using mongoose you can achieve it like this.

Change the schema like this:

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    username:String,
    password:String,
    point: Number,
    watched: [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'videoInfos' }],
    running: Array,
});

And query like this:

userInfos.find({}).populate('watched');

The watched array should be populated with videoInfo data.
