javascript - How to return only value of a field in mongodb

Question

After applying the find operation in mongodb.. i get the following list of documents..

  db.users.find(....)

i got:

 { "text" : "Hey" }
 { "text" : "Hi" }
 { "text" : "Hello" }
 { "text" : "yes" }

How can i convert it into

 ["Hey","Hi","Hello","yes"].

i tried

 db.users.find(...).map( function(u) { return "u.text"; } )

but it is giving error!

Not sure what you language implementation is but the basic concept is:

var result = []
db.users.find().forEach(function(u) { result.push(u.text) })

And the returned value to result is:

["Hey","Hi","Hello","yes"]
