how to get specific property name via rest call in strongloop loopback

I am having students model in loopback which is accessible via rest using this url. /api/students rest call gives all the student data but I want to get only the registration numbers (regno) of students. Like in sql (SELECT regno FROM students). how I should filter the above rest call to get only the registration numbers of students.

Solution 
  • ?filter={"fields":"regno"}

    If you want to get multiple columns

    ?filter={"fields":["regno","column2","column3",....]}
