I have Poems schema which has a linked array of ObjectIds under field name 'communities':
{
_id: ObjectId("61659ef70e87b90018f7baa1"),
schemaName: 'Poem',
helps: [ ObjectId("5d15c609832d390c41ab6872") ],
communities:
[ ObjectId("5eafbabaf0be6f0017303eb3"),
ObjectId("5eba549a45bd9300170f6311") ],
}
I am trying to add a new ObjectId to the array using updateOne and $push:
db.poems.updateOne(
{title: "My stillness"},
{$push: {communities: {ObjectId: ('61f942b737bdc10018722539')}}}
)
While the new Id gets added, it is not in the correct format (see also attached image from MongoDB Compass for further clarity on the difference in format). How can I adjust my updateOne/$push method to add the ObjectId in the correct format? Thanks

CodePudding user response:
You are pushing key-value pair into the array.
ObjectId: ('61f942b737bdc10018722539')
Instead, it should be:
ObjectId('61f942b737bdc10018722539')
db.poems.updateOne(
{ title: "My stillness" },
{ $push: { communities: ObjectId('61f942b737bdc10018722539') } }
)
