so my mongoose model looks like this

 userName:{
        type:String,
        required:true
    },
    userEmail:{
        type:String,
        required:true
    },
    userGym: gySchema,
    userPassword:{
        type:String,
        required:true
    }

gySchema is another schema and through patch method of https I am trying to assign a value to a variable in gySchema in Nodejs, how can I do so??

CodePudding user response：

Below is the code for your reference as I too have done a project using this. When your using patch you have to just use req.body as it is what you want to update. and the route will be req.patch. patch is for partial update. put is for entire update.

model

const Joi = require("joi");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const { Genre, validateGenre, genreSchema } = require("./genre");
Joi.objectId = require("joi-objectid")(Joi);

const movieSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
    title: {
        type: String,
        required: true,
        minlength: 5,
        maxlength: 50,
    },
    numberInStock: {
        type: Number,
        required: true,
        min: 0,
        max: 255,
        default: 13,
    },
    dailyRentalRate: {
        type: Number,
        min: 0,
        max: 255,
        required: true,
    },
    liked: {
        type: Boolean,
        default: false,
    },
    genre: {
        type: genreSchema,
        required: true,
    },
});

const Movie = mongoose.model("Movie", movieSchema);

function validateMovie(movie) {
    const schema = {
        title: Joi.string().required().min(5).max(255),
        numberInStock: Joi.number().required().min(0).max(255),
