Hide id field in MongoDB


Let us create a collection with documents −

> db.demo575.insertOne({id:101,Information:{Name:"Chris",Age:21}});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e916a55581e9acd78b427f7")
}
> db.demo575.insertOne({id:102,Information:{Name:"David",Age:20}});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e916a5f581e9acd78b427f8")
}
> db.demo575.insertOne({id:101,Information:{Name:"Bob",Age:23}});{
   "acknowledged" : true, "insertedId" : ObjectId("5e916a67581e9acd78b427f9")
}

Display all documents from a collection with the help of find() method −

> db.demo575.find();

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e916a55581e9acd78b427f7"), "id" : 101, "Information" : { "Name" : "Chris", "Age" : 21 } }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e916a5f581e9acd78b427f8"), "id" : 102, "Information" : { "Name" : "David", "Age" : 20 } } 
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e916a67581e9acd78b427f9"), "id" : 101, "Information" : { "Name" : "Bob", "Age" : 23 } }

Following is the query to hide id field values and display rest −

> db.demo575.find({id:101},{"Information.Name":1});

This will produce the following output −

{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e916a55581e9acd78b427f7"), "Information" : { "Name" : "Chris" } }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("5e916a67581e9acd78b427f9"), "Information" : { "Name" : "Bob" } }
