I have a structure like this:
{
_id: new ObjectId("634aa49f98e3a05346dd2327"),
filmName: 'Film number 1',
episodes: [
{
episodeName: 'Testing 1',
slugEpisode: 'testing-1',
_id: new ObjectId("6351395c17f08335f1dabfc9")
},
{
episodeName: 'Testing 2',
slugEpisode: 'testing-2',
_id: new ObjectId("6351399d9a2533b9be1cbab0")
},
],
},
{
_id: new ObjectId("634aa4cc98e3a05346dd232a"),
filmName: 'Film number 2',
episodes: [
{
episodeName: 'Something 1',
slugEpisode: 'something-1',
_id: new ObjectId("6367cce66d6b85442f850b3a")
},
{
episodeName: 'Something 2',
slugEpisode: 'something-2',
_id: new ObjectId("6367cd0e6d6b85442f850b3e")
},
],
}
I received 3 fields:
_id
: Film _idepisodeId
: Episode _idepisodeName
: The content I wish to update
I tried to find a specific Film ID
to get a specific film, and from then on, I pass an Episode ID
to find the exact episode in the episodes
array. Then, update the episodeName
of that specific episode.
Here's my code in NodeJS:
editEpisode: async (req, res) => {
const { _id } = req.params
const { episodeId, episodeName } = req.body
try {
const specificResult = await Films.findOneAndUpdate(
{ _id, 'episodes._id': episodeId },
{ episodeName }
)
console.log(specificResult)
res.json({ msg: "Success update episode name" })
} catch (err) {
return res.status(500).json({ msg: err.message })
}
},
But what console.log
display to me is a whole document, and when I check in MongoDB, there was no update at all, does my way of using findOneAndUpdate
incorrect?
I'm reading this document: MongooseJS - Find One and Update, they said this one gives me the option to filter
and update
.
CodePudding user response:
The MongoDB server needs to know which array element to update. If there is just one array element to update, here's one way you could do it. (I picked a specific element. You would use your req.params
and req.body
.)
db.films.update({
"_id": ObjectId("634aa4cc98e3a05346dd232a"),
"episodes._id": ObjectId("6367cd0e6d6b85442f850b3e")
},
{
"$set": {
"episodes.$.episodeName": "Something Two"
}
})
Try it on mongoplayground.net.
CodePudding user response:
You can use the filtered positional operator $[<identifier>]
which essentially finds the element or object (in your case) with a filter condition and updates that.
Query:
const { _id } = req.params
const { episodeId, episodeName } = req.body
await Films.update({
"_id": _id
},
{
$set: {
"episodes.$[elem].episodeName": episodeName
}
},
{
arrayFilters: [
{
"elem._id": episodeId
}
]
})
Check it out here for example purpose I've put ids as numbers and episode name to update as "UpdatedValue"
