I am having trouble in appending data into an array in mongodb. This is my schema:
const userSchema=mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
email: String,
password: String,
blog: [{
date: Date,
post: String
}],
week: [{
weekday: String,
tasks:[String]
}],
todo: [String]
});
const User= mongoose.model("User", userSchema);I want to add data to todo but it is not working. Here is the code for that:
app.post("/list", (req,res) =>{
console.log(req.body);
const user = req.body.userid;
const item = req.body.data;
console.log(user);
console.log(item);
User.findOne({_id: user}, function(err, foundUser){
if(err){
console.log(err);
} else{
foundUser.todo.push(item);
foundUser.save();
res.send("ToDo Updated");
}
});
});I am getting user and item from the frontend. When I am console logging foundUser then I am getting the user but I am not able to add item to it.
It's cause the save() is an async method, try using await
app.post("/list", (req,res) =>{
console.log(req.body);
const user = req.body.userid;
const item = req.body.data;
console.log(user);
console.log(item);
User.findOne({_id: user}, async function(err, foundUser){
if(err){
console.log(err);
} else{
foundUser.todo.push(item);
await foundUser.save();
res.send("ToDo Updated");
}
});
});
app.post("/list", (req,res) =>{
console.log(req.body);
const user = req.body.userid;
const item = req.body.data;
console.log(user);
console.log(item);
User.findOne({_id: user}, function(err, foundUser){
if(err){
console.log(err);
} else{
foundUser.todo.push(item);
await User.updateOne({ _id: foundUser._id }, { $set: foundUser });
res.send("ToDo Updated");
}
});
});
Another approach
