node.js - I get error when trying to filter mongoose data using NodeJs

Question

I am trying to filter and paginate data from my API, but I keep getting an error. here is the code I am trying to use to achieve that.

router.get('/api/place', async (req, res) => {
    //  pagination and filter
    // const match = {}

    const noOnPage = parseInt(req.query.limit) || 10
    const pageNo = (parseInt(req.query.page)-1)*parseInt(req.query.limit)

    try {
        const place = await Place.find({
            isOpen: true
        })
        .populate({
            select: '-media',
            match,
            options: {
                limit: noOnPage,
                skip: pageNo
            }
        })
        .exec()

        console.log("hello");
        res.status(200).send(place)
    } catch (e) {
        res.status(500).send()
    }
})

please what could I be missing?

Answer 1

remove match and set path argument with name of field that has ref

       const place = await Place.find({
            isOpen: true
        })
        .populate({
            path: 'user',
            select: '-media',
            options: {
                limit: noOnPage,
                skip: pageNo
            }
        })
