Mongoose select:false an array of ObjectIds

Question

I'm trying to do something very similar to this, except that I do not want to reference the child object's schema directly. I'm using the ObjectId & Ref notation:

children: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'SomeSchema' }]

Is there anyway to achieve this? I don't see anything in the docs.

Answer 1

In retrospect, this should have been obvious:

children: { 
    type: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'SomeSchema'}],  
    select: false 
}
