MongoDB Get Field to Update a Value from Request Query-CodePudding

I have user object structured like this:

{
  "id": "",
  "username": "",
  "name": "",
  "bio": "",
  "email": "",
  "profileImg": "",
  "phoneNumber": 0,
  "messagingPoints": 0,
  "funds": 0,
  "inventoryId": "",
  "lastLogin": "2022-02-23T03:27:13.535Z",
  "isPrivate": false,
  "messagesReceived": []
}

I want to be able to reach a patch endpoint to update any of these fields. For example, /api/user?id=userId&name=John, should be able to grab the field "name" and set it to John. /api/user/id=?id=userId&[email protected] should grab the email field and set it to [email protected]

I am struggling to find docs for MongoDB to accomplish this, so I'm wondering if it is not possible? Do I need a specific endpoint for each of these update operations (ex: /api/user/name?id=userId&value=John instead of /api/user?id=userId&name=John)?

If it is possible, how could I accomplish this? Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

You can pass user ID in update filter. Also you can pass data in request body of the PUT request instead of query parameters.

app.put('/api/user', async (req, res) => {
  const { id, ...data } = req.body; 
  // Filter out any invalid fields

  // Update documents where id field is equal to value of id in request body
  await collection.updateOne(
    { id },
    { $set: data }
  );

  return res.json({ data: "User updated" })
})
