Document.prototype.execPopulate()

Parameters

• [callback] «Function» optional callback. If specified, a promise will not be returned

Returns:

• «Promise» promise that resolves to the document when population is done

Explicitly executes population and returns a promise. Useful for promises integration.

Example:

const promise = doc.
  populate('company').
  populate({
    path: 'notes',
    match: /airline/,
    select: 'text',
    model: 'modelName'
    options: opts
  }).
  execPopulate();
// summary
doc.execPopulate().then(resolve, reject);

// you can also use doc.execPopulate(options) as a shorthand for // doc.populate(options).execPopulate()

Example:

const promise = doc.execPopulate({ path: ‘company’, select: ‘employees’ });

// summary promise.then(resolve,reject);
