I need to make a patch request to update only one (or several) field(s) at the same time. I've got a big object which is my document, and inside nested array of objects.
For example, for my car array, this is the schema :
const carSchema = new Schema({
owner: [{value: {type: String}, label: {type: String}}],
carPlate: {type: String},
carColor: {type: String},
carBrand: {type: String},
carStatus: {type: String}
});
const myObject = new Schema({
...
cars: [carSchema]
...
});
When I send my changes, I do it this way :
let dynamicVar = 'cars.'+i+'.'+myfield; this.props.updateGeneral({_id: this.props.general._id, [dynamicVar ]: [myfield.value]});
I'm on redux, so my action looks like :
export function updateGeneral(data) {
let _id = data._id;
delete data._id;
return {
type: 'UPDATE_GENERAL',
payload: client.patch(`${url}/${_id}`, data)
}
}
And my PATCH request is like :
router.patch('/url/:id', async (req, res, next) => {
myObject.findOneAndUpdate({_id: req.params.id}, {$set: req.body }, {upsert: true, new: true}, function (err, objectReturn) {
if (err) return next(err);
cn = cn.substr(0, cn.indexOf(' {'));
res.json(objectReturn);
});
});
My BIG issue is that my field is update or inserted, but if it's inserted and it creates a new array it won't create the objectId linked. It won't even create the array of object,just an object with a property.
How can I make mongoose initiates ObjectId??
