Find one and insert into child referenced document-CodePudding

I have a User model, with a referenced child array of objects, I would like to find the User, and insert into the child referenced document, I don't want to update the child document, but rather insert another object into the reports document array.

Below is the User model, I basically want to find the User, and insert into Reports.

const User = mongoose.model(
  "User",
  new mongoose.Schema({
    firstName: String,
    lastName: String,
    dateOfBirth: String,
    email: String,
    password: String,
    agreedToTerms: Boolean,
    agreementDate: String,
    verified: Boolean,
    roles: [
      {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: "Role"
      }
    ],
    reports: [
      {
        type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
        ref: "Reports"
      }
    ]
  })
);

Thank you!

You can use findByIdAndUpdate with $push:

User.findByIdAndUpdate(<user-id>, {
    $push: { reports: <report-id> }
});
