I'm trying to create a simple form where the user will customize their cake and when the data save in database the user's info will be saved there also automatically. how do I do that?
this is just like any order model from e-commerce websites but I can't add the user's data in the order model automatically.
the mongoose schema I've created is like this.
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const { required } = require('nodemon/lib/config');
const Schema=mongoose.Schema;
const customCakeSchema=Schema({
user:{
type:Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref:'saved_user'
},
// order_By:{
// type:Schema.Types.ObjectId,
// ref:'saved_user'
// },
// phone:{
// type:Schema.Types.ObjectId,
// ref:'saved_user'
// },
// address:{
// type:Schema.Types.ObjectId,
// ref:'saved_user'
// },
weight:{
type:String,
required:true
},
flavour:{
type:String,
required:true
},
shape:{
type:String,
required:true
},
layers:{
type:Number,
required:true
},
sponge:{
type:String,
required:true
},
cakeType:{
type:String,
required:true
},
creamLevel:{
type:String,
required:true
},
fondantLevel:{
type:String,
required:true
},
fondantCreamLevel:{
type:String,
required:true
},
paintCake:{
type:String,
required:true
},
fillings:{
type:String,
required:true
},
effects:{
type:String,
required:true
},
writingOnCake:{
type:String,
required:true
},
status:{
type:String,
default:'pending'
},
payment:{
type : Boolean,
default: false
},
delivered: {
type : Boolean,
default: false
},
createAt :{
type : Date,
default : Date.now
}
});
const customCakeModel=mongoose.model('custom_cake',customCakeSchema);
module.exports=customCakeModel;```
const example = new custom_cake({
user:user._id, //<-- Need to save user id with the new data
})
To get referenced collections from the custom_cake you need to populate
custom_cake.find().populate('user').exec()
