I'm developing a MEAN stack application and I'm hung up on how to actually update a document that has been saved into the MongoDB already. I've seen that I have to use patch
instead of post
in my REST API paths, but it's still a little clouded to me. I want to insert a new Package into the Package JSON Array in the User JSON.
Possible Duplicate, but he's overriding a value in the array and not adding a new object into it.
My JSON Schema:
//User schema
const UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String
},
email: {
type: String,
require: true
},
username:{
type:String,
required: true
},
password:{
type:String,
required: true
},
packages: [{
from: String,
to: String,
tracking: String
}]
});
My REST API Paths
//Update
router.patch('/update', (req, res) => {
const username = req.body.username;
const packages = req.body.packages;
User.getUserByUsername(username, (err, user) => {
if(!user){
return res.json({success: false, msg: 'User not found'});
} else {
User.addPackages(req.body.packages, (err, user) => {
if(err){
res.json({success: false, msg:'Failed to update packages'});
} else {
res.json({success: true, msg:'update packages'});
}
})
}
});
});
//Register
router.post('/register', (req, res, next) => {
let newUser = new User({
name: req.body.name,
email: req.body.email,
username: req.body.username,
password: req.body.password,
packages: req.body.packages
});
User.addUser(newUser, (err, user) => {
if(err){
res.json({success: false, msg:'Fail to register user'});
} else {
res.json({success: true, msg:'user registered'});
}
});
});
My Module's:
module.exports.addPackages = function(packages, callback){
//Don't know how to push a JSON object into JSON Package array
}
module.exports.getUserById = function(id, callback){
User.findById(id, callback);
}
module.exports.getUserByUsername = function(username, callback){
const query = {username: username}
User.findOne(query, callback);
}
module.exports.addUser = function(newUser, callback){
bcrypt.genSalt(10, (err, salt) => {
bcrypt.hash(newUser.password, salt, (err, hash) => {
if(err) throw err;
newUser.password = hash;
newUser.save(callback);
});
});
