I'm looking to update something in my DB, but I need to use data in the object in the DB.

Here is what I would like to do :

score.findOneAndUpdate({name: "global"}, {$set:{score: score+1}})

and here is what it looks like in DB :

{
  name: "global"
  score: 1
}

So I need to find global, and increment the score by one and update it to obtain

{
 name: "global"
 score: 2
}

I know that I could first, find and store the data, and after an update, but how can I do it once with findAndUpdate()?

You could instead use the $inc operator to increment the score field:

score.findOneAndUpdate({ name: "global" }, { $inc: { score: 1 } });
