I am trying to upsert a record in MongoDB from nodejs. The JSON I am trying to insert is:

{
  _id: { '$date': '2017-02-14T00:00:00Z' },
  dayType: 'weekday',
  endOfMonth: false,
  finEndOfMonth: false,
  _entity: [ 'holiday' ]
}

And I am getting this error: (MongoServerError: unknown operator: $date) Why is that happening?

Thanks in advance!

CodePudding user response：

Yes, $date is not an operator to be used while inserting.

If you need to insert _id as date use one of predefined constructors

Sample

You could use new Date("2017-02-14T00:00:00Z")
