mongoose virtuals about mongoose-datatable HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello,
Thank you for using the module.

The virtuals are not stored in the database, they are mongoose model based fields (aliases or function return values added on the mongoose document). The module fetch the data with an aggregate so the concept of mongoose document is lost and an aggregate is returned.

If you need the field, re-build the virtuals after the fetch by adding it in the data from data.aaData or directly in the client by fetching the needed values and using a mRender function.

I hope this answer your question, if you need anything else let me know.

Hi,
thanks for the quick response (and the module). I've solved the problem by generating the data on the client in the mRender function.
