How can I push element to array in http.put in angularjs?

Question

I have the following schema:

var UserSchema = new Schema({
  name: String,
  email: { type: String, lowercase: true },
  projects: [{type: Schema.ObjectId, ref:'Project'}],
  //....
}

How can I add projectId by using http.put?

This is among the things that I have tried:

$http.put('/api/users/'+User._id, {'projects': project._id});

you want to have projects': project._id in UserSchema object? — Ajay Narain Mathur

Does your API controller support this action? Are you in control of the REST Service?From what I see you are using Microsoft WebApi. If that is the case you need to code your controller to do this or, look into using the ODATA controller instead. — Jeffrey A. Gochin

I am creating a many-to-many relation between Users and Projects. Thought this was the way to do it? I am using the angular fullstack generator. In other words; yes, I am in control of the REST Service, and it is not a Microsoft WebApi. — mrlarssen

I have it the same way in ProjectSchema (array of user id's). — mrlarssen

Solved it using:

$http.put('/api/users/'+User._id, {'projects': User.projects});

and in my update method:

_.extend(user, req.body);

instead of

_.merge(user, req.body);
