Mongoose search item in array

Question

I have a Mongoose Schema like this:

var userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({

   name: String,
   email: String,
   data: [String],
});

And using Mongoose search I want to compare some value with the first element of data, im trying something like:

users.FindOne({data[0]: value}, {}, function(err, resp){
  //code
});

That of course doesen't work, how can I compare a value with the n element of an array?.

Thanks in advance.

You can use numeric indexes in your keys, but you need to use dot notation:

users.FindOne({'data.0': value}, {}, function(err, resp){
  //code
});
