Mongoose populates first object

JavaScript

I have a problem populating data in mongoose.
here’s my code for models definition:


const CardSchema = new Schema({
  name:{type:String,required:true},
  short_name:{type:String,required:true},
  img:{type:String},
  type:{type:String,required:true},
  suit:{type:String,required:false},
  meaning:{type:String,required:true}
})

const Card = model('Card',CardSchema)

module.exports = Card

and

const {Schema,model} = require('mongoose')
const User = require('./User')
const Card = require('./Card')

const AlignmentSchema = new Schema({
  name:{type:String,required:true},
  userId:{type:Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref:User, required:true},
  cards:[{type:Schema.Types.ObjectId,ref:Card,required:true}]
})

const Alignment = model('Alignment',AlignmentSchema)

module.exports = Alignment

so I want to populate cards:

class AlignmentController{
  async create(req,res){
    const {name,cards,userId} = req.body
    const alignment = await Alignment.create({userId,name,cards})
    
    console.log(alignment.cards.length)
    return res.json(alignment)
  }

  async getAll(req,res){
    const alignments = await Alignment.find({})
    return res.json(alignments)
  }

  async getOne(req,res){
    const {id} = req.params
    const alignment = await Alignment.findById(id)
    console.log(alignment.cards.length)
    return res.json(alignment)
  }
}

but I get only one populated card instead of populated array of cards. what is wrong?
