How to use mongoose-joins for Node.js

I am trying to figure out how to use mongoose-joins for Node.js. I have tried looking at the ReadMe file, it only explains how set it up. Is there any sample code for actually joining two collections of data?

Maybe DBRefs provide enough functionality for you. These are standard in the current release of Mongoose (2.4.10 as of this writing.)

With a DBRef, you can point to another document, and let Mongoose retrieve that document for you and 'link' it to the instance of the current document.

If you need more elaborate join-functionality, the mongoose-joins is probably the way to go.
