const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;

const HabalkaSchema = new Schema({
  _id: {
    type: String

module.exports = Habalka = mongoose.model('habalka', HabalkaSchema);

request

I believe your issue is pushing to destination when it should be files

I would try

habalka.update(
{_id: "78935e75-86c0-47c2-a76d-2b52a0a71e7c"},
{$push: { files: {destination: "Harry"} }
);

let Habalka = habalka.findOne({_id: "78935e75-86c0-47c2-a76d-2b52a0a71e7c"}); Habalka.files.push({files: {destination: 'tata'}}); Habalka.save(); I have same problem – Стас Рябцев May 27 '19 at 21:12
habalka.update( {_id: "78935e75-86c0-47c2-a76d-2b52a0a71e7c"}, {$push: { files: {destination: "Harry"} } ); No errors occurred with this code, but nothing was written to the database. – Стас Рябцев May 27 '19 at 21:15
are you awaiting it or doing a callback? maybe you can show the nodejs code actually making the update – Katherine R May 27 '19 at 21:16
router.post('/post', upload.single('selectedFile'), (req, res) => { let habalka = new Habalka(); // 78935e75-86c0-47c2-a76d-2b52a0a71e7c habalka.update( {_id: "78935e75-86c0-47c2-a76d-2b52a0a71e7c"}, {$push: {files: {destination: "Harry"}}} ); }) – Стас Рябцев May 27 '19 at 21:19

I found this solution and this work.

Habalka.findById("78935e75-86c0-47c2-a76d-2b52a0a71e7c")
  .then(post => {
    console.log(post)
    post.files.unshift({_id: "tata", destination: "vava"});
    post.save().then(res => console.log(res));
  })
  .catch(err => res.status(404).json({ postnotfound: 'No post found' }));
