remove _id from mongo result

Question

I'm pretty new with mongo and nodejs I've a json as result of my query and I simply want to return the result as an http request, as following:

app.get('/itesms', function(req, res) {
  items.find().toArray(function (err, array) {
    res.send(array);
  })
});

It works, only problem is that I want to hide the _id fields (recursively) from the result. Any suggestion to do that in an elegant way?

Try this solution:

app.get('/itesms', function(req, res) {
  items.find({}, { _id: 0 }).toArray(function (err, array) {
    res.send(array);
  })
});
