更新mongodb收集记录

Question

I'm playing around with node.js and mongo.db this weekend. At the moment I'm trying to update a record within a collection.

When the archiveuser function is called I'm getting a 'Failed to load resource: net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE' in the developertools console. I'm using a similar snippet to the archiveuser function to delete users and this works perfectly. I can't understand why this is now failing.

I've written this snippet of code to perform the update within users.js:

router.put('/updateuser/:id', function(req, res) {
    var db = req.db;
    var userToUpdate = req.params.id;

    db.userlist.update({"_id" : userToUpdate}, 
        {
            $set:{'archived':'1'}
        })
});

Which is being called from global.js from this function:

function archiveUser(event) {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'UPDATE',
        url: '/users/updateuser/' + $(this).attr('rel')
    }).done(function( response ) {

        // Check for a successful (blank) response
        if (response.msg === '') {
            alert('Success');
        }
        else {
            alert('Error: ' + response.msg);
        }
    });
};

If I was using php with mysql I would run an update query, similar to this.

UPDATE userlist
SET archived='1'
WHERE id=$usertodelete;

Any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

As @Philipp pointed out, the code is fine and works as expected.

The problem I was having is I didn't realise that the node server needed to be restarted with every change to a node.js js file (routes, app.js etc)

I have installed nodemon ( https://github.com/remy/nodemon ) which restarts the server whenever it detects a change. This combined with live reloading the web browser has solved the problem.
