I need some help to clear some things up.
I have a Model:
var Event = new Schema({
event_code: String
, segments: [Segment]
});
The creation of new documents work very well like perfect. When it comes to update certain documents I ran into some troubles.
When I do this (code below): = it only updates the first document, even if the id does not match
function edit_event (id, new_name, callback) {
Event.update(id, {$set:{event_code: new_name}}, function(err, doc) {
if (err) throw err;
callback();
});
}
When I do this (code below): = it gives me an Error (see below)
function edit_event (id, new_name, callback) {
Event.findByIdAndUpdate(id, {$set:{event_code: new_name}}, function(err, doc) {
if (err) throw err;
callback();
});
}
Error when using findByIdAndUpdate: Cast to ObjectId failed for value ""58fdbde31bff83141b376508"" at path "_id" for model "Event"
Please, i'm desperate :! :/
UPDATE
I figured out that the id that i'm trying to pass get stored with "" around it, so when i am looking for document with matching ID it puts an extra pair of "" around it so it ends up like ""id""
UPDATE 2
When I am listing all my documents, it returns:
{ _id: 58fdbde31bff83141b376508,
event_code: 'TestABC',
__v: 0,
segments: [] }
Then when i store the id in an HTML form it adds extra pair of "" around it ... that's not the case with event_code. Why is that ?
Looks like you performed unneeded JSON.stringify and that's why you get quotes around the id. Calling JSON.parse should solve the issue:
Event.findByIdAndUpdate(JSON.parse(id), {$set:{event_code: new_name}}, ...
