node.js - Querying nested documents using Mongoose not working

Question

I'm trying to filter using multiple items in a nested object in mongoose. The model is like this:

{
    name: String
    ...
    links: {url: String, canQuery: bool}
}

So I know you can filter by using

User.find({'links.url':{$ne:req.params.query}}, function(err, foundUsers){
   // ---
});

but I need to verify 2 paramaters, 1 the url and 2 the canQuery. I tried this but it doesn't work:

User.find({links:{url: {$ne:req.params.query}, canQuery: true}}, function(err, foundUsers){
   // ---
});

How can I filter by multiple properties in a nested object

Answer 1

You can query an embedded document in mongoose like this

User.find({'links.url': {$ne:req.params.query}, 'links.canQuery': true}}, function(err, foundUsers){
   // ---
});
