Is the first time I am working with backend (Mongoose, express, nodeJs). I have a collection of users in MongoDB. I am sending the favoriteId from frontend and getting it in the backend. I want to delete the position of the array that matches with the favorite Id I am passing to the function. I have tried several ways to remove the favorite using the $pull operator and the favoriteId but none work. So I don't know how to do it.
I would appreciate if someone could help me.
This is structure in MongoDB:
_id: new ObjectId("63"),
username: 'test1',
email: '[email protected]',
favorites: [
{
id: '25',
version: 'version3',
team: 'team1',
},
{
id: '27',
version: 'version2',
team: 'team4',
}```
This is my controller function:
```export const removeFavorite = async (req, res) => {
//Here I have the user Id 63
const userId = req.params.userId;
//here I have the favorite Id I Want to remove : 25
const favoriteId = req.body.params.id;
// Here I select the user in the collection
const deleteFavorite = await User.findOne({ _id: userId });
// Here I want to remove the favorite that matches with favoriteId (25)
res.status(200).json('ok');
};```
CodePudding user response:
try this
User.update({ _id: userId }, { $pull: { 'favorites': { 'id': favoriteId } } });
