I'm building a Mongoose schema for a store
I have two schema owner and shop I am trying to add data in show with ref as owner but dont know how to do it
here is my schema structure
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
var shopSchema = Schema({
location : String,
startDate : Date,
endDate : Date
});
var ownerSchema = Schema({
fname : String,
lname : String,
shopPlace : [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Shop' }]
});
var Shop = mongoose.model('Shop', shopSchema);
var Owner = mongoose.model('Owner', ownerSchema);
so this is how my schema look like and I am trying to add detail of owner and shop but don't know how to do it if it is single schema I can easily do it but with ref I can't
const Owner = require("../models/ownerSchema");
const addTask = async (req, res) => {
let newOwmer = new Owner(req.body);
try {
newOwner = await newOwner.save();
cosnole.log("Added Successfully");
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
};
I can add easily but dont know how to add shop
You would have to do something like this
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
var ownerSchema = Schema({
fname : String,
lname : String,
shopPlace : [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Shop' }]
});
var Owner = mongoose.model('Owner', ownerSchema);
var shopSchema = Schema({
location : String,
startDate : Date,
endDate : Date,
owner: Owner
});
var Shop = mongoose.model('Shop', shopSchema);
Then when you create a shop, create an owner first, and add the owner at the creation of a shop. Maybe like this
// Import your shop and owner models
const fetchedOwner = await Owner.get('the-owner-id')
const createShop = {
location : 'London'
startDate : 'some date'
endDate : 'another date'
owner: fetchedOwner
}
await Shop.create(createShop)
