My MongoDB database main document looks like this:
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "568ad3db59b494d4284ac191"
},
"name": "Myclass",
"items": [
{
"name": "Conductive Gel",
"internal_id": "ID00067",
"description": "ECG Conductive Gel",
"short_description": "ECG Conduct. Gel",
"providers": [
{
"name": "one",
"address": ""
},
{
"name": "two",
"address": ""
}
]
},
{
}
]
}
Ok the thing is that I am receiving an ajax put call that should update one of the items (the one that matches the _id).
My approach:
exports.updateItem = function(req, res, next) {
classes.findOne({_id: '568ad3db59b494d4284ac19d'}, function(e,myclass){
if(!e) {
myclass.items.forEach(function(item){
if (item._id == req.body._id) {
item = req.body;
myclass.save(function(err, doc){
if (err) return next(err);
return res.status(200).send('The item has been updated!');
});
}
});
} else {
res.status(500).send('Class not folund in BBDD!!');
}
});
};
The thing is that when I do item = req.body; the req.body info is not mapped into the item mongoose object and the item in the database is not updated. I don't get any error either.
I have checked that req.body and item both have the exact same fields in the moment that I do the item = req.body; .
If I do item.name='whatever' , on the other hand, it works.
I've been fighting with this issue for 4 hours now without a solution...
I have also tried Mongoose's findOneAndUpdate() query without success..
