Mongoose $push whole array in database - node.js

Question

I'm having an error on my database where the sub array that I push to my database is missing and created a new id which means it detects data pushed inside.
here's the data I pushed. (toDeliver array has 4 objects inside).
I'm trying to send the whole array along with the string outside of the array.
after the request here what I receive on my database which is mongoDB.
the object inside toDeliver array is incomplete and created a ObjectId.
but the string outside of array was save the database.
here's my schema.
const OwnerSchema = mongoose.Schema({
username: {
require: true,
type: String,
},
password: {
require: true,
type: String,
},
isAdmin: {
type: Boolean,
default: true,
},
store: [
{
product_identifier: {
type: String,
require: true,
},
productname: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
price: {
type: Number,
required: true,
},
quantity: {
type: Number,
required: true,
},
categoryfilter: {
type: String,
required: true
},
description: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
specs: {
type: String,
required: true
},
imageBase64: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
timestamp: {
type: String,
required: true,
}
}
],
delivery: [
{
clientname: {
type: String,
required: true
},
address: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true
},
number: {
type: Number,
required: true
},
toDeliver: [
{
product_identifier: {
type: String,
require: true,
},
productname: {
type: String,
required: true
},
price: {
type: Number,
required: true
},
}
],
toDeliverPaidViaPaypal: [
{
product_identifier: {
type: String,
require: true,
},
productname: {
type: String,
required: true
},
price: {
type: Number,
required: true
},
}
]
}
]
});
here's my backend.
export const delivery = async (req,res) => {
const { id } = req.params;
console.log(id);
console.log(req.body);
try {
if(!id) return res.status(404).json({ message: 'ID not found' });
await OwnerModels.findByIdAndUpdate(id,
{
$push: {
delivery:
{
clientname: req.body.delivery[0].clientname,
address: req.body.delivery[0].address,
email: req.body.delivery[0].email,
number: req.body.delivery[0].number,
toDeliver:
[{
product_identifier: req.body.delivery[0].toDeliver.product_identifier,
productname: req.body.delivery[0].toDeliver.productname,
price: req.body.delivery[0].toDeliver.price
}]
,
toDeliverPaidViaPaypal: []
}
}
},
{
new: true,
},(err,res)=> {
if(err) return console.log({ error: err });
console.log({ result: res.delivery });
}).clone();
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ message: 'Server error' });
}
}

I think you need to add square brackets around the toDeliver object to make it an array like your console object:
$push: {
delivery: {
clientname: req.body.delivery[0].clientname,
address: req.body.delivery[0].address,
email: req.body.delivery[0].email,
number: req.body.delivery[0].number,
toDeliver: [{
product_identifier: req.body.delivery[0].toDeliver.product_identifier,
productname: req.body.delivery[0].toDeliver.productname,
price: req.body.delivery[0].toDeliver.price
}],
toDeliverPaidViaPaypal: []
}
}
Also add "_id: false" to toDelivery in your schema to repress id from being generated for the sub-object:
toDeliver: [
{
product_identifier: {
type: String,
require: true,
},
productname: {
type: String,
required: true
},
price: {
type: Number,
required: true
},
_id: false,
}
],
