I have a NedB database which I'm trying to insert some new data into that I retrieve from HTML form, this is my function to insert new.
addEntry(name,desc,ingred,allergy,cat,aval,price){
var entry = {
Name: name,
Description: desc,
Ingerdients: ingred.split(','),
Allergy: allergy.split(','),
Category: cat,
Availability: aval,
price: price
}
this.db.insert(entry, function(err,doc) {
if(err)
{
console.log("error inserting document",subject);
}
else{
console.log('Meal Added Successfully');
}
})
}
My problem is that the Availability is a boolean value, yet it's added in the database with quotation marks. For example: 'true' instead of true and 'false' instead of false, how can I fix this?
Assuming that the parameter aval is a string, you could convert it to a boolean:
var entry = {
Name: name,
Description: desc,
Ingerdients: ingred.split(','),
Allergy: allergy.split(','),
Category: cat,
Availability: aval === "true",
price: price
}
But I am surprised that the database accepts a string value where it should expect a boolean. Doesn't it give you an error message?
