I'm trying to update the subdocument books within the array without success. The new data won't get saved.
Express:
router.put("/:id/:bookid", (req, res) => {
Library.updateOne(
{ _id: req.params.id, "books._id": req.params.bookid },
{ $set: { "books.$.title": "New value" } }
);
});
LibraryScema:
const LibarySchema = new Library({
Name: {
type: String,
required: false
},
books: [BookSchema]
});
bookScema:
const BookSchema = new Schema({
title: {
type: String,
required: false
},
Chapters: [
{
chapterTitle: {
type: String,
required: false
}
}
]
});
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT:
Libary Table:
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "12345"
},
"Name": "A random libary",
"Books": [{
"_id": {
"$oid": "1"
}
"title": "TitleExample",
"Chapters": [{
chapterTitle: "first chapter etc"
}]
},
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "2"
}
"title": "Another book" ,
"Chapters": [{
chapterTitle: "first chapter etc"
}]
}]
}
You can try this:
router.put("/:id/:bookid", (req, res) => {
Library.findOne({ _id: req.params.id, "books._id": req.params.bookid }).exec(function(err,result) {
if (err) throw err;
if (result) {
result.books.title = "new value";
result.save()
console.log("new value")
} else {
console.log("not found")
}
});
});
