An update in the array of objects inside another array of objects.
mongodb field that I'm working on:
otherFields: values,
tasks: [
{
_id: mongodb.objectID(),
title: string,
items:[{
_id: mongodb.objectID(),
title: string,
completed: boolean //field need to be update.
}]
},
{}...
],
otherFields: value
I need to find the document using the task_id and the item_id and update a completed field in item of a task. Using the mongoose findOneAndUpdate method
const path = "tasks.$.items." + item_id + "completed";
collectionName.findOneAndUpdate(
{ _id: req.user._id, "tasks._id": taskID },
{ $set: { [path]: true }});
The above query doesn't work!!!
There is no need to use multiple query conditions, since you'd like to update a specific item that has an unique ID. Therefore you could use something along the lines:
collectionName.findOneAndUpdate(
{ 'tasks.items._id': itemID },
...
);
Keep in mind this structure is far away from optimized as it would basically look through the entire database...
Also now that I think of it, you'd also have issue with the update, as there are two nested arrays within the document. Read more here: How to Update Multiple Array Elements in mongodb
