Query multiple collections Nodejs - node.js

Question

Hello im trying to join these collections i want to get all users which has "active" attribute equal to false. I couldn't figure out how to acquire this query. There are my schemas:
User Schema
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const UserSchema = new Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
type: {
type: String,
required: true
},
active:{
type:Boolean
}
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('users', UserSchema);
Company Schema:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const CompanySchema = new Schema({
userId: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'users'
},
companies: [{
name: {
type:String
},
country:{
type:String
}
}
]
});
module.exports = Company = mongoose.model('company', CompanySchema);
Note: Not all users have companies only the type "client" and i want to get both, "client" and "employe"

You may want to refactor your Schema to better accommodate the type of data you have available.
For example:
User Schema:
const UserSchema = new Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
type: {
type: String,
required: true
},
active:{
type:Boolean
},
companies: [{
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'company'
}]
});
And Company Schema:
const CompanySchema = new Schema({
name: {
type:String
},
country:{
type:String
}
});
Then to get a list of all users who are active, and automatically populate any company data for those users (Assuming your user model is called UserModel)
UserModel.find({ active: false }).populate('companies').exec();
If you are unable to edit your data structure for any reason, then you could perform a query similar to:
CompanyModel.aggregate([
{ $lookup: { from: 'users', localField: 'userId', foreignField: '_id', as: 'user' } },
{ $match: { '$user.active': false } }
]).exec()
This will perform an aggregate lookup on the UserId field and then only match on ones where the active property is set to false.
