I'm trying to post an array of objects into my mongodb using my obj dummy data, but it just posts an empty array instead

Here's my code

Schema

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const LevelSchema = new Schema({
    item: [Object],
});

const Items = mongoose.model('items', LevelSchema);

module.exports = Items;

Post routes

const router = require('express').Router();
let Items = require('../models/items.modal');

router.route('/add').post((req, res) => {
  const obj = [
    {
      "name":"name1"
    },
    {
      "name":"name2"
    },
    {
      "name":"name3"
    }

  ]
  const newItems = new Items({obj});

  newItems.save()
    .then(() => res.json('User added!'))
    .catch(err => res.status(400).json('Error: '   err));
});

module.exports = router;

But some how it just returns an empty array when I run it

Posted Data

   {
        "_id": "90bacff0cc5c2e3734545f34",
        "item": [],
        "__v": 0
    }

CodePudding user response：

Your schema is like this:

const LevelSchema = new Schema({
    item: [Object],
});

So you have to insert something like:

{
  item: [{}]
}

But you are inserting:

{
  obj: [{}]
}

So using const newItems = new Items({item:obj}); should works.
