I have this schema with
const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema(
{
skills: [{ name: { type: String, unique: true }, level: { type: Number } }],
and I am trying, after getting an array of objects from the client, to add all of them at once under a user in MongoDB
my old implementation when it was only an array is this one below. I have no idea how to go about it now tho. Could anyone help me?
const { email } = session;
const { skill } = req.body;
if (req.method === 'POST') {
try {
const user = await User.findOne({ email });
const updatedUser = await User.findOneAndUpdate(
{ email },
{ skills: [...user.skills, { name: skill }] }
);
CodePudding user response:
const { email } = session;
// object from the client
const { skills } = req.body;
if (req.method === 'POST') {
try {
const updatedUser = await User.findOneAndUpdate(
{ email },
{ $set: {skills} }
);
the best is getting the array correctly formatted from front-end, if not use a map before call findOneAndUpdate
