Mongoose - how to fetch specific number and message ID - node.js

Question

I'm trying to make the bot basically edit the message of any specific case mentioned for example if i do -case 5 test it will look for case 5 and it's message. So far when i do it, it basically changes the recent case number message, instead of the one i want it to change. like if i do case 5 test and the latest case is #9, it will change 9 instead of 5.
This is how i send the message:
Modlog.findOneAndUpdate({ guildID: msg.channel.guild.id }, { $inc: { 'caseID': 1 } }, { new: true }, async function (err, doc) {
if (err) throw err;
if (!doc) return;
if (doc.modLog.enabled) {
if (msg.channel.guild.channels.get(doc.modLog.channelID)) {
let m = await msg.channel.guild.channels.get(doc.modLog.channelID).createMessage({
embed: {
title: `${action} | Case #${doc.caseID}`,
color: colour,
fields: [
{
name: 'User',
value: user,
inline: true
},
{
name: 'Moderator',
value: moderator ? moderator : 'No issuer.',
inline: true
},
{
name: 'Reason',
value: reason ? reason : 'No reason.'
}
]
}
});
doc.messageID = m.id;
doc.type = action;
doc.caseID = doc.caseID;
//doc.caseID = m.id
doc.moderatorID = moderator,
doc.targetID = user
doc.save();
}
}
})
that is how i send my message. And you can see i'm storing the things so when someone changes a specific case's reason, for example: case 5 spamming, i would want it to look for caseID 5, and then edit the message through it's ID. but i'm not sure how am i doing it wrong. I'm trying to make each case store it's own message ID and i would really appreciate any help. This is what i use to look for the case and edit's reason.
Modlog.findOne({ guildID: msg.guildID }, async (err, doc) => {
if (err) throw err;
if (!doc.modLog.enabled) return msg.channel.createMessage(`Modlog is not enabled in this server! ${this.emoji.cross}`);
if (isNaN(Number(caseID))) return msg.channel.createMessage(`Case \`#${caseID}\` was not a number! ${this.emoji.cross}`);
if (doc.caseID === undefined) return msg.channel.createMessage(`Couldn\'t find case \`#${caseID}\`! ${this.emoji.cross}`);
const moderator = this.bot.users.get(doc.moderatorID) || {
username: 'Unknown User',
discriminator: '0000'
}
const target = this.bot.users.get(doc.targetID) || {
username: 'Unknown User',
discriminator: '0000'
}
let embed = {
title: `${doc.type} | Case #${doc.caseID}`,
fields: [
{
name: 'User',
value: `${target.username}#${target.discriminator} (${target.id})`,
inline: true
},
{
name: 'Moderator',
value: `${moderator.username}#${moderator.discriminator} (${moderator.id})`,
inline: true
},
{
name: 'Reason',
value: reason
}
]
};
try {
await this.bot.editMessage(doc.modLog.channelID, doc.messageID, { embed: embed });
await msg.channel.createMessage(`Case **#${caseID}** has been updated. ${this.emoji.tick}`);
} catch (e) {
await msg.channel.createMessage(`I\'m unable to edit that case or it has been deleted. ${this.emoji.cross}`);
}
});```

Solution: Search for Case ID
It seems you didn't look for the case ID, and only looked for the guild's ID in the filter parameter.
Modlog.findOneAndUpdate({ guildID: msg.channel.guild.id }, { ... }, { ... }, ... {
...
}
In your code, only guildID was passed into the filter parameter. This causes Mongoose to look for the most recently initialized document for the server. For your case, you should also pass caseID into the filter parameter.
Modlog.findOneAndUpdate({ guildID: msg.channel.guild.id, caseID: caseIDArg }, { ... }, { ... }, ... {
...
}
Replace caseIDArg with your supposed caseID argument in the message's content. For example, args[1] or however you programmed your argument handler to work.
Hope this helped to answer your question!
