Lets say I had this schema: | |
const userCommandSchema = mongo.Schema({ | |
objectID: mongo.Schema.ObjectId, | |
userID: { type: String, required: true }, | |
command: { type: String, required: true }, | |
summary: { type: String }, | |
isFavourite: { type: Boolean, default: false }, | |
}, | |
{ timestamps: true } | |
); | |
const UserCommandSequenceSchema = mongo.Schema({ | |
objectID: mongo.Schema.ObjectId, | |
userID: { type: String, required: true }, | |
commandSequenceTitle: { type: String, required: true }, | |
commandSequenceDescription: { type: String, required: false }, | |
commands: [{ type: mongo.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'UserCommand' }], | |
}, | |
{ timestamps: true } | |
); | |
// Saving an array of document references within a document is pretty straight forward: | |
const newUserCommandSequence = new this.UserCommandSequenceModel({ | |
userID, | |
commandSequenceTitle, | |
commandSequenceDescription, | |
}); | |
const arrayOfObjectIDs = [mongo.Types.ObjectId("57d2e31f0098c69c4eefde53"), mongo.Types.ObjectId("57d2e31f0098c69c4eefde57")]; | |
// Add references to documents field property | |
if (arrayOfObjectIDs.length > 0) { | |
commandList.forEach((command) => { | |
newUserCommandSequence.commands.push(command); | |
}); | |
} | |
// Then save | |
return newUserCommandSequence.save() | |
.then((response) => { | |
return 'success'; | |
}) | |
.catch((err) => { | |
console.log(err); | |
}); | |
// How would I go about updating an array of document references? | |
const arrayOfObjectIDs = [mongo.Types.ObjectId("57d2e31f0098c69c4eefde53"), mongo.Types.ObjectId("57d2e31f0098c69c4eefde57")]; | |
const query = { _id: id }; | |
// This causes an error saying: "Cannot read property '$isMongooseDocumentArray' of undefined"; | |
const update = { $set: { | |
commandSequenceTitle, | |
commandSequenceDescription, | |
commands | |
}, | |
}; | |
const options = { new: true }; | |
return this.UserCommandModel.findOneAndUpdate(query, update, options) | |
.exec() | |
.then(({ _id, commandSequenceTitle, commandSequenceDescription, commands, createdAt, updatedAt }) => { | |
}) | |
.catch((err) => { | |
console.log(err); | |
}); |
