My schema looks like this:
"content" : [
{
"_id" : ObjectId("4fc63de85b20fb72290000f8"),
"assets" : [
{
"path" : "temp/4f840af9565832fa14000002/4f840b1e565832fa14000007/4fc63de85b20fb72290000f7/content/I_Understanding_and_Measuring.pdf",
"_id" : ObjectId("4fc63def5b20fb722900010e")
},
{
"path" : "temp/4f840af9565832fa14000002/4f840b1e565832fa14000007/4fc63de85b20fb72290000f7/content/me.jpg",
"_id" : ObjectId("4fc63e4d5b20fb722900015d")
}
],
"content" : "",
"name" : "Downloads"
},
{
"_id" : ObjectId("4fc63dfd5b20fb722900012a"),
"assets" : [
{

"_id" : ObjectId("4fc63e055b20fb7229000147")
},
{
"path" : "temp/4f840af9565832fa14000002/4f840b1e565832fa14000007/4fc63de85b20fb72290000f7/content/thierry-henry-12-31-11-1.jpg",

I can retrieve this document with:
db.presentations.find({'content.assets._id': ObjectId('4fc63def5b20fb722900010e')})`
I've tried the following to remove an document from the assets collection with the line below, but to no avail:
db.presentations.update(
{'content.assets._id': ObjectId('4fc63def5b20fb722900010e')},
{$pull: {'content.assets': {'_id': ObjectId('4fc63def5b20fb722900010e')}}}
)
I'm trying to remove an item from the corresponding assets
collection by its id. Any ideas?
To remove an element from a doubly-nested array in MongoDB document, you can use $pull operator. Now field "UserZipCode": "20010" has been removed from a doubly-nested array.
To remove an element, update, and use $pull in MongoDB. The $pull operator removes from an existing array all instances of a value or values that match a specified condition.
An embedded array is an ASIC under a new method featuring consolidation of “Sea of gates” of a gate array and hard-macro cells for specific applications.
In Mongoose, subdocuments are documents that are nested in other documents. You can spot a subdocument when a schema is nested in another schema. Note: MongoDB calls subdocuments embedded documents.
You are so close! Remember that your outermost "content" is an array itself. So the following 2 character change works, use content.$.assets inside the value for $pull.
db.presentations.update(
{'content.assets._id': ObjectId('4fc63def5b20fb722900010e')},
{$pull: {'content.$.assets': {'_id': ObjectId('4fc63def5b20fb722900010e')}}}
)
Zoom ahead.
