Use Populate method with datatables in Node js + Mongo DB

Question

I am working with this code link. Datatable is created but how can i use populate method with query. As according to provide code:

exports.getDataForDataTable = function getData (request, response)
{
  MyModel.dataTable(request.query, function (err, data) {
    response.send(data);
  });
};

I am using datatable so i need syntax with datatable. Populate normally works but how it works with datatable syntax. — Anshul

Add populate field in the request.query object

exports.getDataForDataTable = function getData (request, response)
{
   request.query.populate = 'Model';
   MyModel.dataTable(request.query, function (err, data) {
   response.send(data);
});
};

Fields must be defined in the search object fields: ['username'] in which you want to search. Can you conosle.log you request.query object and paste it here so i can see what is wrong.

conditions: { '$and': [ { '$or': [ { title: { '$in': [ /2/i ] } } ] } ] }, This condition is generated only

It must consists of other columns also.

search: { value: '', regex: 'false' }, this is coming when i console query object for search.
