This methods allows you to fetch all the references entities declared on your Schema.

It accepts two optional arguments:

• references (string or Array<string>) One or multiple references to fetch (e.g. 'author' or ['author', 'address'])

• properties (string or Array<string>) The properties to return from the fetched reference entities.

entity.populate('user', 'email')
    .populate('address') // Calls can be chained
    .then(() => {
        // entity.user.email has been fetched
        // entity.address will has been fetched
    });
