how to populate (mongo) a field on the req.user ?

One field in my User collection looks like this:hearts: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.ObjectId }], I'm trying to populate the objectID so I have access to all the other dataNormally I'm familiar running autopopulate function in mongo:function autopopulate(next) { this.populate("hearts"); next(); } userSchema.pre("find", autopopulate); userSchema.pre("findOne", autopopulate); But because the object is on the req.user, I'm not using "find" or "findOne" in my controller. I'm just passing req.user directly into my views.Massive thanks for any help!
