Interface GenericFindOneAndDeleteOptions

Specifies which fields should be included/excluded in the returned documents.

If not specified, all fields are included.

When specifying a projection, it's the user's responsibility to handle the return type carefully, as the projection will, of course, affect the shape of the returned documents. It may be a good idea to cast the returned documents into a type that reflects the projection to avoid runtime errors.

Example

interface User {
  name: string;
  age: number;
}

const collection = db.collection<User>('users');

const doc = await collection.findOne({}, {
  projection: {
    _id: 0,
    name: 1,
  },
  vector: [.12, .52, .32],
  includeSimilarity: true,
}) as { name: string, $similarity: number };

// Ok
console.log(doc.name);
console.log(doc.$similarity);

// Causes type error
console.log(doc._id);
console.log(doc.age);
Copy

The order in which to apply the update if the filter selects multiple documents.

If multiple documents match the filter, only one will be updated.

Defaults to null, where the order is not guaranteed.

Default Value

null
