Better way to populate a field in mongodb rust

[ChanManChan]

I know we can populate a field using aggregate functions "$lookup" feature but is there a better and easy way to just populate a single field like in mongoose library for nodejs?

Hi @ChanManChan, the driver does not have any equivalent API to the populate functionality in mongoose; you'll need to call the aggregate method with a $lookup stage to do something similar in the driver.

Thanks for the help.
