I'm having this problem when removing an Object inside Array. I don't seems to understand what is the proper way of removing an item using $pull. Thanks in advance!
JSON data
"accountId": "62efd8c008f424af397b415d",
"links": [
{
"url": "www.github.com/iluvkohii",
"title": "GitHub"
},
{
"url": "www.github.com/iluvkohii",
"title": "GitHub"
},
{
"url": "www.github.com/iluvkohii",
"title": "GitHub",
"_id": "62efe1ee4675d0baa10bd219"
},
{
"url": "www.github.com/iluvkohii",
"title": "GitHub",
"linkId": "62efe4e142099faeeb5999d0"
}
]
Code
try {
const { accountId, _id } = req.body;
return Profile.findOneAndUpdate(
{ accountId },
{ $pull: { links: { _id } } },
{ new: true, }
)
.then((value) => res.status(200).json(value))
.catch((err) => res.status(400).json(err.errors));
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
I just solved my own question after a day realizing that a normal String is not equal to Mongoose ObjectId
try {
const { accountId, _id } = req.body;
return Profile.findOneAndUpdate(
{ accountId },
{ $pull: { links: { id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(_id) } } },
{ new: true },
)
.then((value) => res.status(200).json(value))
.catch((err) => res.status(400).json(err.errors));
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
