Hello all, i am trying to get all the faculties in the university schema below:
let universitySchema = new Schema({ name: String, description: String, faculties: [facultySchema], universityBuildings: [universityBuildingsSchema], students: [userSchema], banks: [bankSchema], atms: [atmSchema], foods: [foodSchema], icon: String });
let University = Mongoose.model('University', universitySchema);
using the University Object, how would i get the results of all the faculties only?
What i currently have:
// Get /faculties // Route to get all faculties router.get('/university/:uID/faculties', (req, res, next) => { // Return all faculties University.find({}, null, (error, faculty) => { if(error) return next(error); res.json(faculty); }) });
The above code returns the university document i know, just need help getting only faculties.
Thanks in advance guys.

15,803 PointsThank you Lucas however that doesn't seem to work for me. Maybe i am doing something wrong, i am trying to create a REST API where persons request the faculties and the faculties is sent back to the client. How would i convert the code below to achieve that. when i add the select method i get an error stating select statements accept only one argument. however i want to use a callback function to handle the response.
router.get('/university/:uID/faculties', (req, res, next) => {
// Return all faculties
University.find({}, null, (error, faculty) => {
if(error) return next(error);
res.json(faculty);
});
});
