Interface GenericFindOneAndUpdateOptions

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

Set to before to return the document before the update to see the original state of the document.
