How to update a record in mongo db using node js

Question

I have created a simple signup and login using node js and mongoDb. I can successfully do signup and login and now I want to add some more data to the user model after logging in from the secret page. How can I do that?

This is my user model and I want to add some text to user.text field after loggin in:

    var mongoose = require("mongoose");

    var UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({
        username: String, 
        password: String,
        text:String
        
    });

    module.exports = mongoose.model("User", UserSchema);

This is my view page (ie, the secret page)

<h1>Hi, <%= user.username %></h1>
<form action="/birthday" method="post">
<input type="text" name="text">
<button type="submit">Update database</button>
</form>

The text should be shown here after updating .

Thanks!

You need to make an API on the node process to send the data to. I suggest you take a look at stuff like Express.js and google about REST API:s.
