Find a document using nested property in MongoDB

Question

Having a document of this form

{ "id" : 1,
  "data": "some_data"
}

the method I'm using to find it is this one

myModel.findOne({ id: req.params.id})

this works fine, but now the model has changed and it looks like this

{  "item": {
       "id": 1
    },
   "data": "some_data",
}

tying like this doesn't seem to work:

myModel.findOne({ item: { id: req.params.id } })

any ideas?

You can try the following:

myModel.findOne({ 'item.id': req.params.id})
