Mongoose Document.prototype.isSelected() API
Last Updated :
08 Dec, 2022
The Document API.prototype.isSelected() method of the Mongoose API is used on the Document model. It allows us to check whether specific path or field is selected in the query to be included in the result set or not. It returns a Boolean value.
Syntax:
document.isSelected( path )
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter as described below:
- path: It is used to specify the path or the field we have selected while initializing the query. It can be of the type String or ArrayString.
Return Value: This method returns Boolean value. If we have selected the field which we have provided to isSelected() method, than It will return true else false.
Setting up Node.js Mongoose Module:
Step 1: Create a Node.js application using the following command:
npm init
Step 2: After creating the NodeJS application, Install the required module using the following command:
npm install mongoose
Project Structure: The project structure will look like this:
Database Structure: The database structure will look like this, the following documents are present in the collection.
Example 1: In this example, we have established a database connection using mongoose and defined model over userSchema, having five columns or fields “_id”, “name”, “fixedDeposit”, “interest”, and “tenure”. We have selected name field to be included in the result set. At the end, we are verifying the name field using isSelected() method.
Filename: app.js
Javascript
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
});
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
fixedDeposit: Number,
interest: Number,
tenure: Number
});
const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
User.find().select('name').then(document => {
console.log(document);
console.log(document[0].isSelected('name'));
})
|
Step to run the program: To run the application execute the below command from the root directory of the project:
node app.js
Output:
[
{ _id: new ObjectId("638f0262cc8a382bcf3d93df"), name: 'Bhavesh' },
{ _id: new ObjectId("638f0262cc8a382bcf3d93de"), name: 'Aditya' }
]
true
Example 2: In this example, we have established a database connection using mongoose and defined model over userSchema, having five columns or fields “_id”, “name”, “fixedDeposit”, “interest”, and “tenure”. We have provided an array of fields to be included in the result set. At the end, we are getting false as an output for fields we have passed to isSelected() method, because we have not selected those fields while initializing the query.
Filename: app.js
Javascript
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true,
});
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
fixedDeposit: Number,
interest: Number,
tenure: Number
});
const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
const isSelectedExample2 = async () => {
const document = await User
.findOne()
.select(['name', 'fixedDeposit']);
console.log(document);
console.log(document.isSelected(['tenure', 'interest']));
}
isSelectedExample2();

Step to run the program: To run the application execute the below command from the root directory of the project:

{
_id: new ObjectId("638f0262cc8a382bcf3d93df"),
name: 'Bhavesh',
fixedDeposit: 8000
}
false
