how to use mongodb query option in monk nodejs - monk

Question

I have a collection name projects and I am trying to retrieve everything except its url like this query
db.projects.find({name:"arisha"},{url:0}).pretty()
This query is working perfectly and returning everything except url but my question is how to achieve this in
Node module for MongoDB name monk.
I am using this code but its not working and returning every field:
var projs = db.get('projects');
projs.find({creator : req.session.user._id},{url:0}, function (err,data) {
console.log(data);
if(!err) {
res.locals.projs = data;
console.log(data);
res.render("projects.ejs",{title: "Projects | Bridge"});
}
});
I did not get where the problem is, please help and thanks in advance :)
Sample document:
{
"name" : "arisha",
"date" : {
"day" : 18,
"month" : 4,
"year" : 2015
},
"creator" : "552edb6f8617322203701ad1",
"url" : "EyjPdYoW",
"members" : [
"552edb6f8617322203701ad1"
],
"_id" : ObjectId("5532994ba8ffdca31258bd1a")
}

To exclude the url field in monk, try the following syntax:
var db = require('monk')('localhost/mydb');
var projs = db.get('projects');
projs.find({ creator : req.session.user._id }, "-url", function (err, data) {
// exclude url field
});
EDIT:
To exclude multiple fields, use the following projection syntax:
projs.find({ creator : req.session.user._id }, { fields: { url: 0, creator: 0 } }, function(err, data) {
// exclude the fields url and creator
});
Alternatively (as you had discovered), you could also do:
projs.find({ creator : req.session.user._id }, "-url -creator", function (err, data) {
// exclude url and creator fields
});
