The documentation here doesn't provide much of an explanation for why there are two different operations to accomplish the same thing, so I'm wondering what the differences are between them. Why might I choose to use one over the other?
The findByIdAndDelete() is a function in Mongoose used to find a document by the _id field and then remove the document from the collection. It returns the document removed or deleted.
Both of them are almost similar except findOneAndRemove uses findAndModify with remove flag and time complexity will be a bit higher compare to findOneAndDelete because you are doing an update. Delete are always faster. Both functions send the exact same command over the wire to MongoDB.
Mongoose | findOneAndDelete() Function The findOneAndDelete() function is used to find a matching document, remove it, and passes the found document (if any) to the callback. Installation of mongoose module: You can visit the link to Install mongoose module. You can install this package by using this command.
This function differs slightly from Model.findOneAndRemove() in that findOneAndRemove() becomes a MongoDB findAndModify() command, as opposed to a findOneAndDelete() command. For most mongoose use cases, this distinction is purely pedantic. You should use findOneAndDelete() unless you have a good reason not to.
