"username": "A.a",
"password": "$2a$05$GAF1hP91EowKUTKr14ASL.MRd2lOjotfOgVlEghwnqctNcIe5seNW",

"__v": 9,
"isBuddyEnabled": true,
"friendRequests": [
{
"friendId": "58be7aa0c204cb134068975d",

I have the above json for a single user , now i need the array of such json with all info whose friendRequest isAccepted is false which means these requests are pending for him,
for eg: when i hit api/requests/58be5a4a031372098578b1d6 => i have to get info of id 58bf8cb4c26d5811b188a600
till now i was able to retreive the ids whose request was not accepted via following query
app.post('/api/users/requests/:id'function(req,res){User.find({"_id":req.params.id})
.find({"friendRequests.isAccepted":false},function(err,callback){}})

You can use array filter to pop out the subdocument in array based on the filter
User.find({"_id":req.params.id}, function (err, user) {
var friendRequests = user.friendRequests.filter(function (fr) {
return fr.isAccepted == false;
}).pop();
console.log(friendRequests); //logs { "friendId": "58bf8cb4c26d5811b188a600", "isAccepted": false
});
