I am trying to insert a record into mongodb, using mongoose, but the record does not update when record is already in the database. Is there something I am doing wrong? The documentation for mongoose is not the easiest to follow for me.
models.fg_records.update({email:clean_email}, inactive_user, {update: true}, function (err) {
if(err){
throw err;
console.log(err);
} else {
// send mail with defined transport object
transport.sendMail(message, function(err, response) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
view('<ul><li>There was a problem sending an email to this user. Make sure you types it correctly.</li></ul>');
} else {
res.redirect('/records');
}
});
}
});

The save() function is generally the right way to update a document with Mongoose. With save() , you get full validation and middleware. For cases when save() isn't flexible enough, Mongoose lets you create your own MongoDB updates with casting, middleware, and limited validation.
Mongoose | update() Function The update() function is used to update one document in the database without returning it.
What is the difference between findOneAndUpdate and updateOne? findOneAndUpdate returns a document whereas updateOne does not (it just returns the _id if it has created a new document).
Try passing the option 'upsert' to the update function, instead of 'update', which is not a valid option documentation.
models.fg_records.update({email:clean_email}, inactive_user, {upsert: true}, function (err) { ... }):
