Node.js MongoDb with mongoose custom json response

Question

I have a collection that replays with the data below when i get all documents. But i would like to add a custom "grouping" to it so it looks like example 2 below. And i though you could do it by using Population but im not getting it to work..

Original json

[
      {
      "id" : "...",
      "category" : "...",
      "header" : "...",
      "body" : "..."
   },
      {
      "id" : "...",
      "category" : "...",
      "header" : "...",
      "body" : "..."
   }
]

What i want:

{
  "offers" : [ {
    "id" : "...",
    "category" : "...",
    "header" : "...",
    "body" : "..."
     },
     {
    "id" : "...",
    "category" : "...",
    "header" : "...",
    "body" : "..."
     }]
}

Well, you can just create that object yourself:

var obj = { offers : results };

(where results is your Mongoose result set).

By using the lodash module in npm, we can select the required felid in JSON respone

   import mongoose from 'mongoose'
   import pick from 'lodash/pick'



    UserSchema.methods.toJSON = function () 
       let user = this
       let userObject = user.toObject()
       return pick(userObject, ['_id', 'email'])
       }
