MongoDB通过动态ID更新嵌套项目

Question

Hey i'm trying to update a nested Object in my MongoDB.

They structure is

[
 {
  "_id": "5871010d1ff9831574e7178d",
  "created_at": "2017-01-07T14:54:05.791Z",
  "updated_at": "2017-01-07T14:54:05.791Z",
  "place_id": "ChIJ1eTO6eS1vkcRL_mX2RWUKo4",
  "name": "Kunstwerk Restaurant Gummersbach",
  "__v": 0,
  "cooks": [],
  "menus": [
   {
    "58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f": [
      {
        "intolerances": {
           "intolerance" : "false"
            ...
          },
        "nutritiondata" : [
          {...}
         ],
         "cookname": "testkoch@test.de",
         "menuname": "MenünameX"
      }
    ]
  }
]

The nested ID in menus is another ID of a MongoDB document which is created dynamicly.

I try to update the menuname, but cant access it, since mongo always returns null or doesnt find the element since in need to search for only the key not the key - value pair.

What i tested so far:

db.restaurants.update({ 'menus.58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f', { $set : {"menus.$.menuname" : "test"}}});

db.restaurants.findOne({ 'menus.58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f' : "58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f"});

db.restaurants.find({ menus : { $elemMatch : {"58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f": "58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f" }}});

db.restaurants.findOne({ menus : { $eq : "58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f" }});

Answer 1

Use $set method as shown below :

db.restaurants.update({"_id":"5871010d1ff9831574e7178d"}, {$set: {"menus.58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f.0.menuname":"test"});

This will work only if you know the index of the item in the array that is being updated. Check this Page , it has some good examples on updating multi level nested arrays, hope it will help.

So thanks to suzo i figgured out the solution. The MongoShell code that works:

db.restaurants.update({"_id" : ObjectId("5871010d1ff9831574e7178d")}, {$set: {"menus.58727068ba8d6c04a0ea331f.0.menuname" : "testName"}});

UPDATE: Since my field is Mixed type, this isn't updating without getting marked!. So here is the complete correct code:

 Restaurant.findOne({ _id : req.body.r_id }, function(error, restaurant){
    if(error) console.log(error);

    for(var i = 0; i < restaurant.menus.length; i++){
          restaurant.markModified('menus');
        if(restaurant.menus[i][req.params.id] != undefined){
            restaurant.menus[i][req.params.id].menuname = req.body.name;
        }

        if(i == restaurant.menus.length-1){
            restaurant.save();
            res.json(jObj);
        }
    }

  })
