How to update a object in mongodb via mongoose?

Question

I have mongoose schema as:

var Organization = new Schema({
  name: String,
  address: {
    street : String,
    city: String
  }
}, { collection: 'organization' });

How do I update only street part of address for an organization via mongoose?

I can't find any docs that cover this simple case so I can see why you're having trouble. But it's as simple as using a $set with a key that uses dot notation to reference the embedded field:

OrganizationModel.update(
  {name: 'Koka'}, 
  {$set: {'address.street': 'new street name'}}, 
  callback);
