I wanted to populate 'item' in here and I'm getting the below error. It is an object array. This method worked for a normal array but gave an error for an object array. How to resolve it?
// Get the reserved list const reservedDetails = await reserveInventory .findOne({ memberID: id }) .select("itemsList") .populate({ path: "item", model: inventoryItem, }); Error:
Cannot populate path `item` because it is not in your schema. Set the `strictPopulate` option to false to override. reserveInventory Model:
const reserveInventorySchema = mongoose.Schema({ memberID: { type: String, ref: "member", required: true, }, itemsList: [ { item: { type: String, ref: "inventoryItem", }, quantity: { type: Number, }, }, ], }); module.exports = mongoose.model("reserveInventory", reserveInventorySchema); inventoryItem Model:
const inventoryItemSchema = mongoose.Schema( { name: { type: String, required: true, }, quantity: { type: Number, required: true, }, available: { type: Number, required: true, }, }, { timestamps: true, } ); module.exports = mongoose.model("inventoryItem", inventoryItemSchema);
