I have todo schema and actions schema. Each todo is made up of actions. My todos already have a field for 'subject'.
Question: How do I update the actions so that their 'subject' field equals a given 'subject' field fro the referenced todo?
const todo = new Schema({
subject: String,
actions: { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Action' },
})
const action = new Schema({
action: String ,
todoID: { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Todo' },
subject: String //needs to be populated
})
*I want to avoid doing something like this:
Action.find().forEach(action=>{
todo.findByID(action.todoID)
.then(yadda yadda)
.catch(not what I want to do)
})
I feel like there is an aggregation solution but I cant figure this out.
Thank you.
