在Mongoose中使用嵌套的populate处理数据
假设有如下mongodb的schema定义:
drawApply = new Schema({ salesId: { type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'sales' }, money: Number, status: { type: Number, default: 0 }, createTime: { type: Date, default: Date.now } }); sales = new Schema({ name: { type: String, required: true, unique: true }, pwd: String, phone: String, merchant: { type: Schema.ObjectId, ref: 'merchant' }, status: { type: Number, default: 0 } }); merchant = new Schema({ name: String, sname: String, type: String });
表drawApply的salesId属性指定表sales的_id,表sales的属性merchant指定表merchant的_id。这是一种嵌套级联的关系。
查找drawApply表的数据,并同时返回对应的sales表的数据,可以使用下面的方法:
drawApply.find().populate('salesId', '_id name phone merchant').sort({createTime: -1}).exec(function(err, list) { // list of drawApplies with salesIds populated });
返回的结果中除了drawApply表的数据外,还会包含salesId中_id,name,phone,merchant四个属性的值。但是merchant属性的值是以ObjectId的形式显示的,如果想知道对应的merchant其它属性的值,则需要使用到嵌套的populate。代码如下:
drawApply.find().populate({ path: 'salesId', select: '_id name phone merchant', model: 'sales', populate: { path: 'merchant', select: '_id sname', model: 'merchant' }
}).sort({createTime: -1}).exec(function(err, list) { // list of drawApplies with salesIds populated and merchant populated });
如果drawApply表中还存在其它ObjectId类型的字段,则可以在populate方法后面继续跟其它的populate,使用方法相同,如:
drawApply.find().populate({ path: 'salesId', select: '_id name phone merchant', model: 'sales', populate: { path: 'merchant', select: '_id sname', model: 'merchant' }
}) .populate('approver', 'name') .populate('operator', 'name') .sort({createTime: -1}).exec(function(err, list) { // list of drawApplies with salesIds populated and merchant populated });
