I have a find() query that when executed, I can see the json with the nested schemas that I want to see except for the 'artista' attribute only displays the id, instead of the properties I want. See below:
{
"total": 1,
"ordenes": [
{
"artpieces": [
{
"_id": "60c1388f30316c02b9f6351f",
"artista": "60c055736c7ca511055a0e1a",
"nombre": "LILIES"
},
{
"_id": "60c12fca30316c02b9f63519",
"nombre": "GERNICA",
"artista": "60c136bf30316c02b9f6351b"
}
],
"_id": "60c414f9ea108a14ef75a9fb",
"precio": 3000,
"usuario": {
"_id": "609c0068e67e68",
"nombre": "Arturo Filio"
}
}
]
}
The query I use to get the json above:
const [total, ordenes] = await Promise.all([
Orden.countDocuments(),
Orden.find()
.populate("usuario", "nombre")
.populate("artpieces", ["nombre","artista","nombre"])
]);
res.json({
total,
ordenes
});
It's an order schema that has artpieces. Each artpiece (I called it 'producto'), has a name a genre, an author/artist and the user which the order belongs to.
my Schema for the orden.js:
const { Schema, model } = require('mongoose');
const OrdenSchema = Schema({
artpieces: [
{
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
required: true,
ref: 'Producto'
}
],
estado: {
type: Boolean,
default: true,
required: true
},
usuario: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'Usuario',
required: true
},
precio: {
type: Number,
required: true
}
})
OrdenSchema.methods.toJSON = function () {
const { __v, estado, ...data} = this.toObject();
return data;
}
module.exports = model('Orden', OrdenSchema);
Last thing I want to mention, I know for a fact that I have the code necessary in the artista.js model to display the name of the artist because I have a similar query to display all the artpieces with each artpiece have a genre and an artist.
That example looks like so (to give context):
{
"total": 4,
"productos": [
{
"precio": 0,
"_id": "60c12fca30316c02b9f63519",
"nombre": "GERNICA",
"categoria": {
"_id": "60c04e3605d3c10ed10389e4",
"nombre": "NEO CUBISMO"
},
"artista": {
"_id": "60c136bf30316c02b9f6351b",
"nombre": "PICASSO"
},
"usuario": {
"_id": "609c8c0068e67e68",
"nombre": "Arturo Filio"
}
}
]
}
What am I doing wrong that I can't get my json result at the top look like the json at the bottom, where the artist attribute is?
Also just to point out, I have checked how to nest populate methods in order SO posts including the path and the ref to the Schema and still haven't been able to get the expected result.

I have been trying to use updatemany with mongoose. I want to update the values in database using an array of objects.
[
{
"variantId": "5e1760fbdfaf28038242d676",
"quantity": 5
},
{
"variantId": "5e17e67b73a34d53160c7252",
"quantity": 13
}
]
I want to use variantId as filter.
Model schema is:
let variantSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
variantName: String,
stocks: {
type: Number,
min: 0
},
regularPrice: {
type: Number,
required: true
},
salePrice: {
type: Number,
required: true
}
})
I want to filter the models using variantId and then decrease the stocks.
As you need to update multiple documents with multiple criteria then .updateMany() wouldn't work - it will work only if you need to update multiple documents with same value, Try this below query which will help you to get it done in one DB call :
const Mongoose = require("mongoose");
let variantSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
variantName: String,
stocks: {
type: Number,
min: 0
},
regularPrice: {
type: Number,
required: true
},
salePrice: {
type: Number,
required: true
}
})
const Variant = mongoose.model('variant', variantSchema, 'variant');
let input = [
{
"variantId": "5e1760fbdfaf28038242d676",
"quantity": 5
},
{
"variantId": "5e17e67b73a34d53160c7252",
"quantity": 13
}
]
let bulkArr = [];
for (const i of input) {
bulkArr.push({
updateOne: {
"filter": { "_id": Mongoose.Types.ObjectId(i.variantId) },
"update": { $inc: { "stocks": - i.quantity } }
}
})
}
Variant.bulkWrite(bulkArr)
Ref : MongoDB-bulkWrite
I don't think this can be done with a single Model.updateMany query. You will need to loop the array and use Model.update instead.
for (const { variantId, quantity } of objects) {
Model.update({ _id: variantId }, { $inc: { stocks: -quantity } });
}
To run this in a transaction (https://mongoosejs.com/docs/transactions.html), the code should look something like this (however I have not tried or tested this):
mongoose.startSession().then(async session => {
session.startTransaction();
for (const { variantId, quantity } of objects) {
await Model.update({ _id: variantId }, { $inc: { stocks: -quantity } }, { session });
}
await session.commitTransaction();
});
I am creating a schema for an Order model that will track the items ordered along with the quantity purchased. I want to keep the itemId references and the quantity tied together as an array in one parameter.
I have created an Array that includes a reference to the ObjectId plus an additional Number type. I am currently unable to populate the product information using a .populate() query.
Order Schema
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const { Schema } = mongoose;
const orderSchema = new Schema({
orderNumber: String,
_itemsOrdered: [
{
itemId: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "menuItems"
},
quantity: Number
}
]
});
mongoose.model("orders", orderSchema);
MenuItem Schema
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const { Schema } = mongoose;
const MenuItemSchema = new Schema({
imageURL: String,
name_en: String,
name_es: String,
type_en: String,
type_es: String,
description_en: String,
description_es: String,
dietaryCallouts: [String],
price: Number
});
mongoose.model("menuItems", MenuItemSchema);
module.export = MenuItemSchema;
I am able to save the record but cannot populate the MenuItem information with the following query:
Order Controller
async show(req, res, next) {
try {
const orderId = req.params.id;
let order = await Order.findById({ _id: orderId }).populate(
"_itemsOrdered.itemId"
);
res.send(order);
} catch (err) {
res.status(402).send(err);
}
}
Here it the order object that is being saved to the DB.
Order Object
{
"_id": "5dc93b9c0085b8045e0c8aa3",
"orderNumber": "Order 3",
"_itemsOrdered": [
{
"_id": "5dc93b9c0085b8045e0c8aa5",
"itemId": "5dc7f814a2679b47319a79a4",
"quantity": 1
},
{
"_id": "5dc93b9c0085b8045e0c8aa4",
"itemId": "5dc7e5c7de590744c46f93da",
"quantity": 2
}
],
"__v": 0
}
Your order schema must be like this:
const orderSchema = new Schema({
orderNumber: String,
_itemsOrdered: [
{
itemId: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "menuItems" },
quantity: Number
}
]
});
And you can use the following route to create an order document.
router.post("/order", async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const { orderNumber, _itemsOrdered } = req.body;
let order = new Order({ orderNumber, _itemsOrdered });
order = await order.save();
res.status(201).send(order);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
res.status(500).send(err);
}
});
Sample body: (you need to change ids according to yours)
{
"orderNumber": "Order 1",
"_itemsOrdered": [
{"itemId": "5dc90346222b892434e4675a", "quantity" : 1 },
{"itemId": "5dc90359222b892434e4675b", "quantity" : 2 }
]
}
To get the order and its items you can use populate like this:
router.get("/orders/:id", async (req, res) => {
try {
const orderAndItems = await Order.findById(req.params.id).populate(
"_itemsOrdered.itemId"
);
res.send(orderAndItems);
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
res.status(500).send(err);
}
});
This will give you a result like this:
{
"_id": "5dc904db8407a217b4dfe6f4",
"orderNumber": "Order 1",
"_itemsOrdered": [
{
"_id": "5dc904db8407a217b4dfe6f6",
"itemId": {
"_id": "5dc90346222b892434e4675a",
"name_en": "item 1",
"price": 1,
"__v": 0
},
"quantity": 1
},
{
"_id": "5dc904db8407a217b4dfe6f5",
"itemId": {
"_id": "5dc90359222b892434e4675b",
"name_en": "item 2",
"price": 2,
"__v": 0
},
"quantity": 2
}
],
"__v": 0
}
I got a mongoose query where I want to change a comment. I receive the commentid from a react app. But it doesn't work, what could be the problem?
An example comment array follows
"comments": [
{
"createdAt": "2018-11-22T08:28:36.881Z",
"_id": "5bf668b4001de72dc089c849", // commentid
"comment": "111111111111",
"username": "kohahn21"
},
....
]
What I have tried:
edit = await Post.update(
{ 'comments._id' : commentid },
{ '$set' : { 'comments.$.comment' : comment } },
{ new: true }
);
ctx.body = edit;
ctx.body
{
"n": 1,
"nModified": 1,
"ok": 1
}
Post Schema
const Comment = new Schema({
createdAt: { type: Date, default: Date.now },
username: String,
comment: String
});
const Post = new Schema({
username: String,
comments: {
type: [Comment],
default: []
},
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Post',Post);
I would like to receive comments, which is a modified comment layout. What should I do?
Your syntax looks correct. But instead of 'items' it should be 'comments'.
Try Post.update( { 'comments._id' : commentid }, {'$set' : { 'comments.$.comment' : comment } });
btw the new flag is only available for find-and operators.
So i have two schemas, Article and Event
Both have an image field.
For Article,
featured_image: {
type: String,
default: '',
}
For Event,
featured_image: {
type: Schema.ObjectId,
ref: 'Medium'
}
I have another schema, Card, like this
type: {
type: String,
enum: ['Article', 'Event']
},
data: {
type: Schema.ObjectId,
refPath: 'type'
}
I am trying to populate the cards, like this
Card
.find(query)
.populate({
path: 'data',
populate: [{
path: 'featured_image',
model: 'Medium',
select: 'source type'
}]
};)
However, it keeps giving me a cast error, because when card is of type Event, it populates fine, but when it's of type 'Article', featured_image field is of string type and hence cannot be populated.
How do i populate featured_image field only if card is of type Event or it's a reference id, instead of string.
Instead of what you are attempting to do you should be using "discriminators", which is in fact the correct way to handle a relationship where the object types vary in the reference given.
You use discriminators by the different way in which you define the model, which instead constructs from a "base model" and schema as in:
const contentSchema = new Schema({
name: String
});
const articleSchema = new Schema({
image: String,
});
const eventSchema = new Schema({
image: { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Medium' }
});
const cardSchema = new Schema({
name: String,
data: { type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Content' }
});
const Medium = mongoose.model('Medium', mediumSchema);
const Card = mongoose.model('Card', cardSchema )
const Content = mongoose.model('Content', contentSchema);
const Article = Content.discriminator('Article', articleSchema);
const Event = Content.discriminator('Event', eventSchema);
So instead you define a "base model" such as Content here which you actually point the references to within Event.
The next part is that the differing schema are actually registered to this model via the .discriminator() method from the base model, as opposed to the .model() method. This registers the schema with the general Content model in such a way that when you refer to any model instance defined with .discriminator() that a special __t field is implied to exist in that data, using the registered model name.
Aside from enabling mongoose to .populate() on different types, this also has the advantage of being a "full schema" attached to the different types of items. So you have have different validation and other methods as well if you like. It is indeed "polymorphism" at work in a database context, with helpful schema objects attached.
Therefore we can demonstrate both the varied "joins" that are done, as well as that you can now both use the individual models for Article and Event which would deal with only those items in all queries and operations. And not only can you use "individually", but since the mechanism for this actually stores the data in the same collection, there is also a Content model which gives access to both these types. Which is in essence how the main relation works in the definition to the Event schema.

I'm having trouble 'upserting' to my array. The code below creates duplicates in my answers array which I definitely do not want and by now it's apparent $push will not work. I have tried using the different methodologies I see on SO for a while now but none are working for me. With this web app, users are allows to view a question on the website and respond with a 'yes' or 'no' response and they are allowed to change(upsert) their response at any one time meaning a sort of upsert takes place on the db at different times. How do get around this?
var QuestionSchema = Schema ({
title :String,
admin :{type: String, ref: 'User'},
answers :[{type: Schema.Types.Mixed, ref: 'Answer'}]
});
var AnswerSchema = Schema ({
_question :{type: ObjectId, ref: 'Question'},
employee :{type: String, ref: 'User'},
response :String,
isAdmin :{type: Boolean, ref: 'User'}
})
var UserSchema = Schema({
username : String,
isAdmin : {type: Boolean, default: false}
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Question', QuestionSchema);
module.exports = mongoose.model('Answer', AnswerSchema);
module.exports = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
Question.update(
{_id: req.body.id},
{$push: {answers: {_question: req.body.id,
employee: req.body.employee,
response: req.body.response, //this variable changes (yes/no/null)
isAdmin: req.body.isAdmin}}},
{safe: true, upsert: true},
function(err, model) {
}
);
As I see it you seem a little confused and it's reflected in your schema. You don't seem to fully grasp the differences between "embedded" and "referenced" since your schema is actually an invalid "mash" of the two techniques.
Probably best to walk you through both of them.
Embedded Model
So instead of the schema you have defined, you should in fact have something more like this:
var QuestionSchema = Schema ({
title :String,
admin :{type: String, ref: 'User'},
answers :[AnswerSchema]
});
var AnswerSchema = Schema ({
employee :{type: String, ref: 'User'},
response :String,
isAdmin :{type: Boolean, ref: 'User'}
})
mongoose.model('Question', questionSchema);
NOTE: Question is the only actual model here. The AnswerSchema is completely "embedded".
Note the clear definition of the "schema" where the "answers" property in Question is defined as an "array" of AnswerSchema. This is how you do embedding and keep control of the types within the object inside the array.
As for the update, there is a clear logic pattern but you are simply not enforcing it. All you need to do is "tell" the update that you do not want to "push" a new item if something for that "unique" "employee" in the array already exists.
Also. This is NOT and "upsert". Upsert implies "creating a new one", which is different to what you want. You want to "push" to the array of an "existing" Question. If you leave "upsert" on there, then something not found creates a new Question. Which is of course wrong here.
Question.update(
{
"_id": req.body.id,
"answers.employee": { "$ne": req.body.employee },
}
},
{ "$push": {
"answers": {
"employee": req.body.employee,
"response": req.body.response,
"isAdmin": req.body.isAdmin
}
}},
function(err, numAffected) {
});
That will look to check that the "unique" "employee" in the array members already and will only $push where it is not already there.
As a bonus, if you intend to allow the user to "change their answer" then we do this incantation with .bulkWrite():
Question.collection.bulkWrite(
[
{ "updateOne": {
"filter": {
"_id": req.body.id,
"answers.employee": req.body.employee,
},
"update": {
"$set": {
"answers.$.response": req.body.response,
}
}
}},
{ "updateOne": {
"filter": {
"_id": req.body.id,
"answers.employee": { "$ne": req.body.employee },
},
"update": {
"$push": {
"answers": {
"employee": req.body.employee,
"response": req.body.response,
"isAdmin": req.body.isAdmin
}
}
}
}}
],
function(err, writeResult) {
}
);
This effectively puts two updates in one. The first to attempt to alter an existing answer and $set the response at the matched position, and the second to attempt to add a new answer where one was not found on the question.
Referenced Model
With a "referenced" model you actually have the real members of the Answer within their own collection. So instead the schema is defined like this:
var QuestionSchema = Schema ({
title :String,
admin :{type: String, ref: 'User'},
answers :[{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: 'Answer' }]
});
var AnswerSchema = Schema ({
_question :{type: ObjectId, ref: 'Question'},
employee :{type: String, ref: 'User'},
response :String,
isAdmin :{type: Boolean, ref: 'User'}
})
mongoose.model('Answer', answerSchema);
mongoose.model('Question', questionSchema);
N.B The other ref's here to User such as :
employee :{type: String, ref: 'User'},
isAdmin :{type: Boolean, ref: 'User'}
These are also really incorrect, and also should be of Schema.Type.ObjectId as they will "reference" the actual _id field of User. But this is actually outside of the scope of this question as asked, so if you still don't grasp that after this read, then Ask a New Question so someone can explain. On with the rest of the answer.
That's the "general" shape of the schema though, with the important thing being the "ref" to the 'Anwser' "model", which is by the registered name. You can optionally just use your "_question" field in modern mongoose versions with a "virtual", but I'm skipping over "Adavanced Usage" for now and keeping it simple with an array of "references" still in the Question model.
In this case, since the Answer model is actually in it's own "collection", then the operations actually become "upserts". Where we only want to "create" when there is no "employee" response to the given "_question" id.
Also demonstrating with a Promise chain instead:
Answer.update(
{ "_question": req.body.id, "employee": req.body.employee },
{
"$set": {
"response": req.body.reponse
},
"$setOnInsert": {
"isAdmin": req.body.isAdmin
}
},
{ "upsert": true }
).then(resp => {
if ( resp.hasOwnProperty("upserted") ) {
return Question.update(
{ "_id": req.body.id, "answers": { "$ne": resp.upserted[0]._id },
{ "$push": { "answers": resp.upserted[0]._id } }
).exec()
}
return;
}).then(resp => {
// either undefined where it was not an upsert or
// the update result from Question where it was
}).catch(err => {
// something
})
This is actually a simple statement since "when matched" we want to change the "response" data with the payload of the request, and really only when "upserting" or "creating/inserting" is when we actually change other data such as the "employee" ( which is always implied for create as part of the query expression ) and the "isAdmin" which clearly should not change with each update request we then explicitly use $setOnInsert so it only writes those two fields on an actual "create".
In the "Promise Chain" we actually look to see if the update request to Answer actually resulted in an "upsert", and when it does we want to append to the array of Question where it does not already exist. In much the same way as the "embedded" example, it's best to look to see if the array actually has the item before modifying with the "update". Alternately you could $addToSet here and just let the query match the Question by _id. To me though, that's a wasted write.
Summary
Those are your different approaches to how you handle this. Each has their own use cases for which you can see a general summary some other answers of mine in:
Mongoose populate vs object nesting which is an overview of the different approaches and reasons behind them
How to Model a “likes” voting system with MongoDB which gives a bit more detail on the "unique array upserts" technique for "embedded" models.
Not "required" reading, but it may help expand your insight into which approach is best for your particular case.
Working Example
Copy these and put them in a directory and do an npm install to install local dependencies. The code will run and create the collections in the database making the alterations.
Logging is turned on with mongoose.set(debug,true) so you should look at the console output and see what it does, along with the resulting collections where answers will be recorded to the related questions, and overwritten instead of "duplicating" where that was also the intent.
Change the connection string if you have to. But that is all you should change in this listing for it's purpose. Both approaches described in the answer are demonstrated.

Here was my quick work around before Neill updated his answer (I used a $pull & $push). Works just as his but I'll mark his correct as I believe it's more efficient.
Question.update(
{_id: req.body.id},
{$pull: {answers: { employee: req.body.employee}}},
{safe: true, multi:true, upsert: true},
function(err, model) {
}
);
Question.update(
{_id: req.body.id},
{$push: {answers: {_question: req.body.id,
employee: req.body.employee,
response: req.body.response,
isAdmin: req.body.isAdmin}}},
{safe: true, upsert: true},
function(err, model) {
}
);
