How do I do populate on mongoosastic?

node.js elasticsearch mongoose mongoosastic

You are using

populate: [  {path: 'categories', select: 'name'}]

But categories in your code is undefined.

You have to use category in the place of categories as you have mentioned the key as category in the schema declaration

Hope it will solve your problem.

node.js elasticsearch mongoose mongoosastic

Edit:

category: { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Category', es_schema: Category, es_indexed:true, es_select: 'name'},

=> _category : { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Category' },

And use populate: .populate('_category ', 'name')

Hope it will help you.
