I have a route that generates a PDF. 

featureRoutes.route('/report/').get(function (req, res) {
Feature.find(function (err,features){
if(err){
 console.log(err);
}
else {
pdf.create(features.toString()).toStream(function (err, stream) {
  if (err) return res.send(err);
  res.type('pdf');
  stream.pipe(res);
});
}
});
});

The contents of the pdf is a JSON object that looks like this.

    [ { _id: 5ad5ddddcd054b2b5b20143c,
name: 'Project sidebar',
description: '<p>The project sidebar that we previewed in&nbsp;<a href="https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/jira-6-4-release-notes-678561444.html">JIRA 6.4</a>&nbsp;is here to stay. We built this new navigation experience to make it easier for you to find what you need in your projects. It&#39;s even better, if you are using JIRA Agile: your backlog, sprints, and reports are now just a click away. If you&#39;ve used the sidebar with JIRA Agile before, you&#39;ll notice that cross-project boards, which include multiple projects, now have a project sidebar as well &mdash;&nbsp;albeit a simpler version.</p>\n',
__v: 0 }

I need to strip the _id field and the __V field. I try this by:

    delete features._id

and

    delete features.__V

But the PDF generated still includes the id and __V field

enter image description here

How to remove the fields properly in node?

  • is `features` an array or json. from the code it looks like it is a json within array ? could it be `delete features[0]._id` – Macintosh_89 Apr 18 '18 at 10:15
  • @Macintosh_89 - it does not deletes any item, I am using node 8.11 – 151291 Aug 23 '18 at 09:22

I restricted the fields with a .select at the end of Feature.find

  .select("-__v -_id");
