Im trying to delete a specific document that is inside a collection that is also inside another collection. For example: I have a collection called todoTitle and inside it has an array of another collection called todo, I want to find that specific todo collection that is inside the array and delete it. Im trying to use findOneAndDelete but it's not working. here is the code:
const TodoSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: String,
})
const todo = mongoose.model('todo', TodoSchema)
const TodoTitleSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
title: String,
content: [TodoSchema],
})
const todoTitle = mongoose.model('todoTitle', TodoTitleSchema)
app.post('/removeTodo',(req,res)=>{
let todoID = req.body.removeTodo;
todoTitle.findOneAndDelete({content:[{_id: todoID}]}, (err, foundtodo)=>{
console.log(foundtodo);
if(err){
console.log(err)
}
res.redirect('/');
})
})
Hello so I finally figured it out, I had to write this code:
todoTitle.findOneAndUpdate({_id: listID}, {$pull: {content: {_id: todoID}}}, (err, foundtodo)=>{
if(err){
console.log(err)
}
})
and the error was actually caused by the ID being undefined so I fixed that part up and now it works.
