I have collection with name products
with almost 100k documents. I want to introduce a new key called secondaryKey
with unique value uuid
in all the documents.
I do this using nodejs
.
Problem I am facing:-
When I try the below query,
db.collection('products').updateMany({},{"$set":{secondaryKey: uuid()}});
Here it updates all the documents with same uuid
value,
I try with loop to update document one by one,but here issues is I don't have filter
value in updateOne
because I want to update all the documents.
Can anyone please help me here. Thanks :)

If you are using MongoDB version >= 4.4 You can try this:
db.products.updateMany(
{},
[
{
$set: {
secondaryKey: {
$function: {
body: function() {
return UUID().toString().split('"')[1];
},
args: [],
lang: "js"
}
}
}
}
]
);
Output
[
{
"_id": ObjectId("..."),
"secondaryKey": "f41b15b7-a0c5-43ed-9d15-69dbafc0ed29"
},
{
"_id": ObjectId("..."),
"secondaryKey": "50ae7248-a92e-4b10-be7d-126b8083ff64"
},
{
"_id": ObjectId("..."),
"secondaryKey": "fa778a1a-371b-422a-b73f-8bcff865ad8e"
}
]

Since it's not the same value you want to put in each document you have to use the loop.
In your loop, you have to update the current document of the iteration. So you have to filter with the _id
in the updateOne

The above reply didn't work for me. Plus, it compromises security when you enable javascript on your database (see here $function and javascript enabling on database). The best way is to not overload your server, do your work on local as below:
const { nanoid, customAlphabet } = require('nanoid')
async function asdf() {
const movies = await client.db("localhost").collection("productpost");
var result2 = []
let result = await movies.find({}).toArray()
result.forEach(element => {
const nanoid = customAlphabet('1234567890', 10)
console.log(element.price)
element.price = 4
element.id = nanoid()
result2.push(element)
});
console.log("out reult2", result2)
await movies.deleteMany({})
await movies.insertMany(result2)
})
It will delete any objects on your collections and update with the new ones. Using nanoid as uniqueids.
This is the database object array after adding unique id:
{ "_id": { "$oid": "334a98519a20b05c20574dd1" }, "attach": "[\"http://localhost:8000/be/images/2022/4/bitfinicon.png\"]", "title": "jkn jnjn", "description": "jnjn", "price": 4, "color": "After viewing I am 48.73025772956596% more satisfied with life.", "trademark": "", "category": "[]", "productstate": "Published", "createdat": { "$date": "2022-04-03T17:40:54.743Z" }, "language": "en"}
P.S: Please backup your collection before doing this or filter the array on your needs for not going through all collection.
