Add a new attribute to existing json object in node.js

Question

I have an object like this

==================records=========={ Id: 5114a3c21203e0d811000088,   userId: 'test',   sUserId: test,   userName: 'test',   url: 'test',   Title: 'test' } 

I need to add a new field Name : 'test' to the above record, I tried giving records.Name = name, it didn't work.

Helps please

Thanks, Prats

Answer 1

I am assuming you are trying to add a property to a returned Mongoose Document to reuse it somewhere else. Documents returned by Mongoose are not JSON objects directly, you'll need to convert them to an object to add properties to them. The following should work:

//... record is a mongoose Document var r = record.toObject(); r.Name = 'test'; console.log("Record ",r); 

Answer 2

Those finding this problem, OP mentioned in a comment below the original question that the solution for this problem is:

records.set('Name', 'test') 

This adds a new attribute called Name having value test.
