Model populate returns encrypted fields

[ArielGavrielov]

I have thats schemas:

const schema1 = new mongoose.Schema({
    field1: String,
    field2: String
});

schema1.plugin(mongooseFieldEncryption, {
    fields: ['field1', 'field2'],
    secret: process.env.SECRET,
    saltGenerator: (secret) => secret.slice(0, 16)
});

const schema2 = new mongoose.Schema({
    fieldEncrypted: [{type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'schema1'}]
});

schema2.plugin(mongooseFieldEncryption, {
    fields: ['fieldEncrypted'],
    secret: process.env.SECRET,
    saltGenerator: (secret) => secret.slice(0, 16)
});
const Model = mongoose.model('schema2', schema2);

and when I run this line: Model.findOne({_id: '6151a9221e014f27a6398e96'}).populate('fieldEncrypted'); it return encrypted document of schema1. how can I do that it will return decrypted document?

thanks for answers.

Hi @ArielGavrielov

Did you try just doing a findOne without the populate? As you can see from this test https://github.com/wheresvic/mongoose-field-encryption/blob/036917d580e0d43c28f3331d0025af439d6ee18c/test/test-db.js#L297, findOne works normally as is.

If you want to use populate you can also perhaps use the decryptSync static function to then decrypt the field?
