Options

  • collation : {Object} - Specify the collation Documentation

  • leanWithId : {Boolean} - If lean and leanWithId are true, adds id field with string representation of _id to every document

  • pagination : {Boolean} - If pagination is set to false, it will return all docs without adding limit condition. (Default: True)
