how to hide some properties after receiving result when saving mongoose object?

I know I can hide some properties from mongoose model using select when I performing find query like this:

Product.find()
    .select("-__v")
    .then((products) => {}

but when performing save() , .select() doesn't work, and give error

"TypeError: (intermediate value).save(...).select is not a function"

const user = await new User({
        email: email,
        password: hashedPassword
      }).save().select("-password")

I want to remove the password from user object, after successfully saving the user object. how to do that using mongoose ?

simply Update Your User Model with the following Property.

password: {
    type: String,
    select: false //prevent password to show in query results
},

.save() is not a query you can't chain query helpers.

delete the property after you insert the document

let user = await new User({
  email: email,
  password: hashedPassword
}).save()

user = user.toObject();

delete user.password;
