How to access each field value in mongodb data queried using mongoose with mixed type schema

Question

I have data in database like below. Model is defined like const Any = new Schema({ any: {} });. Now if i query const user = await Any.find({}); and try to console.log(user.name, user.email) it gives undefined. If I modify model then it is working perfectly , but I want it to be mixed type. Is there any way to do so, or I have to modify schema. I'm using mongoose to connect to database.

{
  _id: "213337867hgduhg3",
  name: "some name",
  email: "someone@email.com",
}

To access each properties of the first you have to use toObject method.

Taking your case, code will be like this.

const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Any = new mongoose.Schema({});
const AnySchema = mongoose.model("collection', Any);

async function someFunction(){
  const user = await AnySchema.findOne({email: 'someone@gmail.com'}); 
    //or find() for multiple result , 
    //iterate through them to get individual document
  if(user){
     console.log(user);
     console.log('name:' + user.name);
     console.log('name: ' + user.toObject().name);
  }
}

Outut will be like :

{
  _id: "213337867hgduhg3",
  name: "some name",
  email: "someone@email.com",
  _v: 0
}

name: undefined
name: some name

first user.name is undefined. To access each property use javaScript toObject method to convert it to javaScript object.
