I'm working in Node.js with a MongoDB database. I'm trying to utilize findAndModify with user data from an ejs page.
Here's my ejs code:
<div data-role="main" class="ui-content">
<a href="#modPop" data-rel="popup" class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline ui-corner-all ui-icon-check ui-btn-icon-left">Modify Item</a>
<div data-role="popup" id="modPop" class="ui-content" style="min-width:250px;">
<form action="/modify" method="POST">
Item <input type="text" placeholder="item" name="item"><br>
Quantity <input type="number" name="quantity"><br>
Date <input type="date" name="date"><br>
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
And here is my linked code in server.js:
app.post('/modify', (req, res) => {
console.log('got Post request');
console.log(req.body);
db.collection('Inventory').findAndModify(
{_item: req.body.item} ,
[],
{ $inc: {_quantity: Number(req.body.quantity)}, $set: {_date: req.body.date}},
{new: true},
(err, result) => {
if (err) {
return console.log(err);
}
console.log('saved to database');
res.redirect('/shiftleader');
})
});
Whenever I test this, the update doesn't process. I don't get an error, my terminal output looks like it's going through properly, but it just doesn't update the database.
