I get that this can be a duplicated question. I looked up at least 10 related questions and answers, but I am still not able to find the document.
I am trying to get the document using .findOne(). I have the _id that created by MongoDB. But, I get null for every search I try.
await mongoose.connection.db
.collection('testing')
.findOne({ _id: req.body.test_id }, (err, result) => {
if (err) {
res.status(400);
} else {
console.log(`whaaaaaahsidufh ${result}`);
}
});
I tried _id: mongoose.Type.ObjectId(req.body.test_id) and other possible way to search. How can I retrieve the result by using _id on mongoose?
you can use findById();
try {
const test = await mongoose.connection.db.collection('testing').findById(req.body.test_id);
if (test ) {
console.log(`whaaaaaahsidufh ${test}`);
} else {
console.log(`test not found`);
}
}catch(err){
res.status(400);
}

this is my question.js and user.js schema model with mongoose as below, could anyone help how to populate all the username lists in array object of likes:[] with Node js because I was facing this problem almost 2 weeks now, I could not populate the username from a user inside likes. Please, I appreciate your suggestion.
question schema model
user schema model
To populate user details, Please use
Post.findOne( { _id: id } )
.populate( "user" )
.populate( "likes.user" );
To get liked post, please use
Post.find({ "likes": { "$gt": 0 } }, function(err, data) {
})
or using where, here may get error if likes fields is missing or empty, so please check if it is exists
Post.find( {$where:'this.likes.length>0'} )
so please use where and exists
Post.find( {likes: {$exists:true}, $where:'this.likes.length>0'} )
I tried your code and got it working using your model. If you are using user only you can directly call .populate("user") but if its nested you need to do .populate("likes.user")
Post.findOne( { _id: id } ).populate( "user" ).populate( "likes.user" );
Yes, thank you to Ratnadeep Bhattacharyya, now I able to populate username in likes array object and also able to return the only a specific array of likes. Below is the working code:
Happy Coding, Jonh
//#route api/post/get/likes
router.get('/get/likes/:postId', auth, async (req, res) => {
try {
//check if post exist
const likes = await Post.findOne({ _id: req.params.postId })
.populate('user', ['name'])
.populate('likes.user', ['name']);
return res.status(200).json(likes.likes);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error.message);
res.status(500).json({ msg: 'Server error' });
}
});
I am find subdocuments in a particular document by query
await Conversations.find(
{_id: room_id,"messages.sender": user_id}, function(err, success){
if(success){
console.log("success",success)
for (r of success){
console.log(r);
}
}
})
But the above query finds all the messages in that document. What is the best way to approach this problem instead of using aggregate? I have to write a modify query
My collection looks like:
{"data":{"_id":"5c2d4c2b116da2322616c387","messages":[{"msg_type":"text","time_created":"2019-01-03T00:03:25.055Z","_id":"5c2d514d70407c00102a67b2","sender":"0360a5ac-4b51-4c4d-b8b6-c6bad088135b","content":"Hi","seen":true},{"msg_type":"text","time_created":"2019-01-03T00:04:27.583Z","_id":"5c2d518b70407c00102a67b3","sender":"47a36731-f245-4c62-8a34-d7bc034634c9","content":"hi","seen":true},{"msg_type":"text","time_created":"2019-01-03T00:04:33.422Z","_id":"5c2d519170407c00102a67b4","sender":"0360a5ac-4b51-4c4d-b8b6-c6bad088135b","content":"Great","seen":true},{"msg_type":"text","time_created":"2019-01-03T00:04:39.487Z","_id":"5c2d519770407c00102a67b5","sender":"0360a5ac-4b51-4c4d-b8b6-c6bad088135b","content":"We have some conversations","seen":true}]}
You are trying to query an array of embedded documents.
let query = {
_id: room_id,
{ messages: { $elemMatch: { sender: user_id } } }
}
await Conversations.find(query, function(err, success){
if(success) {
console.log("success",success)
for (r of success) {
console.log(r);
}
}
})
You can read about how to query an array of embedded documents here.
I've been trying to simply update a CosmosDB document via the mongodb api in my node application, I've been testing in and out, no errors but the value does not update no matter what.
I know updating array elements is not supported which is fine, but this is a top-level key-value pair. Changes simply don't happen with no error whatsoever.
I've been following the Mean.js project with uses CosmosDB + Mongoose + Node + Angular, looking at the API for updating hero and trying some of that code but it still doesn't update.
I've been reading the documentation trying to figure out the default way of handling CRUD operations within CosmosDB and which parts of the MongoAPI it supports but so far no luck.
For tests purposes, I'm using this code:
async function updateUser(id) {
try {
let user = await User.findById(id);
console.log (id);
console.log(user);
if (!user) return
user.id = id
user.firstName = 'ASDASDASASDASDASDASDASDA'
const result = await user.save()
console.log(result);
}
catch(err) {
console.log("There was an error updating user", err);
}
}
So, I've been playing around some more and managed to update a hero using this code:
updateHero('10')
async function updateHero(id) {
const originalHero = {
uid: id,
name: 'Hero2',
saying: 'nothing'
};
Hero.findOne({ uid: id }, (error, hero) => {
hero.name = originalHero.name;
hero.saying = originalHero.saying;
hero.save(error => {
return(hero);
console.log('Hero updated successfully!');
});
});
}
Now I'm just not sure why this has actually worked and why it hasn't before. The main thing that is different is that I'm using an 'uid' instead of the actual ID assigned by CosmosDB.
I tested sample code you provided and they both updated document successfully.
Sample document:
Snippet One:
updateUser('5b46eb0ee1a2f12ea0af307f')
async function updateUser(id) {
try {
let user = await Family.findById(id);
console.log (id);
console.log(user);
if (!user) return
user.id = id
user.name = 'ASDASDASASDASDASDASDASDA'
const result = await user.save()
console.log(result);
}
catch(err) {
console.log("There was an error updating user", err);
}
}
Output One:
Snippet Two:
updateFamily('5b46eb0ee1a2f12ea0af307f')
async function updateFamily(id) {
const updateFamily = {
_id: id,
name: 'ABCD',
};
Family.findOne({ _id : id }, (error, family) => {
family.name = updateFamily.name;
family.save(error => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(family));
console.log('Hero updated successfully!');
return(family);
});
});
}
Output Two:
In addition, you could use db.collection.update() to update document.
db.families.update(
{ _id: '5b46eb0ee1a2f12ea0af307f' },{ $set:
{
name: 'AAAA'
}
})
More details,please refer to the doc: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.collection.update/
Hope it helps you.
I am having trouble with a simple findById with mongoose.
Confirmed the item exists in the DB
db.getCollection('stories').find({_id:'572f16439c0d3ffe0bc084a4'})
With mongoose
Story.findById(topic.storyId, function(err, res) {
logger.info("res", res);
assert.isNotNull(res);
});
won't find it.
I also tried converting to a mongoId, still cannot be found (even though mongoose supposedly does this for you)
var mid = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(storyId);
let story = await Story.findOne({_id: mid}).exec();
I'm actually trying to use this with typescript, hence the await.
I also tried the Story.findById(id) method, still cannot be found.
Is there some gotcha to just finding items by a plain _id field?
does the _id have to be in the Schema? (docs say no)
I can find by other values in the Schema, just _id can't be used...
update: I wrote a short test for this.
describe("StoryConvert", function() {
it("should read a list of topics", async function test() {
let topics = await Topic.find({});
for (let i = 0; i < topics.length; i ++) {
let topic = topics[i];
// topics.forEach( async function(topic) {
let storyId = topic.storyId;
let mid = mongoose.Types.ObjectId(storyId);
let story = await Story.findOne({_id: mid});
// let story = await Story.findById(topic.storyId).exec();
// assert.equal(topic.storyId, story._id);
logger.info("storyId", storyId);
logger.info("mid", mid);
logger.info("story", story);
Story.findOne({_id: storyId}, function(err, res) {
if (err) {
logger.error(err);
} else {
logger.info("no error");
}
logger.info("res1", res);
});
Story.findOne({_id: mid}, function(err, res) {
logger.info("res2", res);
});
Story.findById(mid, function(err, res) {
logger.info("res3", res);
// assert.isNotNull(res);
});
}
});
});
It will return stuff like
Testing storyId 572f16439c0d3ffe0bc084a4
Testing mid 572f16439c0d3ffe0bc084a4
Testing story null
Testing no error
Testing res1 null
Testing res2 null
Testing res3 null
I noticed that topic.storyId is a string
not sure if that would cause any issues mapping to the other table.
I tried also adding some type defs
storyId: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
required: false
}
Because this query finds the doc in the shell:
db.getCollection('stories').find({_id:'572f16439c0d3ffe0bc084a4'})
That means that the type of _id in the document is actually a string, not an ObjectId like Mongoose is expecting.
To find that doc using Mongoose, you'd have to define _id in the schema for Story as:
_id: { type: String }
If your Mongo schema is configured to use Object Id, you query in nodeJS using
models.Foo.findById(id)
where Foo is your model and id is your id.
here's a working example
router.get('/:id', function(req, res, next) {
var id = req.params.id
models.Foo.findById(id)
.lean().exec(function (err, results) {
if (err) return console.error(err)
try {
console.log(results)
} catch (error) {
console.log("errror getting results")
console.log(error)
}
})
})
In Mongo DB your query would be
{_id:ObjectId('5c09fb04ff03a672a26fb23a')}
One solution is to use mongoose.ObjectId()
const Model = require('./model')
const mongoose = require('mongoose')
Model.find({ id: mongoose.ObjectId(userID) })
It works, but it is weird because we are using id instead of _id
This is how we do it now:
const { mongoose } = require("mongoose");
YourModel.find({ _id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId("572f16439c0d3ffe0bc084a4") });
I got into this scenario too. This was how I solved it;
According to the mongoose documentation, you need to tell mongoose to
return the raw js objects, not mongoose documents by passing the lean option and setting it to true. e.g
Adventure.findById(id, 'name', { lean: true }, function (err, doc) {});
in your situation, it would be
Story.findById(topic.storyId, { lean: true }, function(err, res) {
logger.info("res", res);
assert.isNotNull(res);
});
If _id is the default mongodb key, in your model set the type of _id as this:
_id: mongoose.SchemaTypes.ObjectId
Then usind mongoose you can use a normal find:
YourModel.find({"_id": "5f9a86b77676e180c3089c3d"});
models.findById(id)
TRY THIS ONE .
REF LINK : https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/mongoose-findbyid-function/
Try this
Story.findOne({_id:"572b19509dac77951ab91a0b"}, function(err, story){
if (err){
console.log("errr",err);
//return done(err, null);
}else{
console.log(story);
}
});
I have an array of _ids and I want to get all docs accordingly, what's the best way to do it ?
Something like ...
// doesn't work ... of course ...
model.find({
'_id' : [
'4ed3ede8844f0f351100000c',
'4ed3f117a844e0471100000d',
'4ed3f18132f50c491100000e'
]
}, function(err, docs){
console.log(docs);
});
The array might contain hundreds of _ids.
The find function in mongoose is a full query to mongoDB. This means you can use the handy mongoDB $in clause, which works just like the SQL version of the same.
model.find({
'_id': { $in: [
mongoose.Types.ObjectId('4ed3ede8844f0f351100000c'),
mongoose.Types.ObjectId('4ed3f117a844e0471100000d'),
mongoose.Types.ObjectId('4ed3f18132f50c491100000e')
]}
}, function(err, docs){
console.log(docs);
});
This method will work well even for arrays containing tens of thousands of ids. (See Efficiently determine the owner of a record)
I would recommend that anybody working with mongoDB read through the Advanced Queries section of the excellent Official mongoDB Docs
Ids is the array of object ids:
const ids = [
'4ed3ede8844f0f351100000c',
'4ed3f117a844e0471100000d',
'4ed3f18132f50c491100000e',
];
Using Mongoose with callback:
Model.find().where('_id').in(ids).exec((err, records) => {});
Using Mongoose with async function:
const records = await Model.find().where('_id').in(ids).exec();
Or more concise:
const records = await Model.find({ '_id': { $in: ids } });
Don't forget to change Model with your actual model.
Combining Daniel's and snnsnn's answers:
let ids = ['id1', 'id2', 'id3'];
let data = await MyModel.find({
'_id': {
$in: ids
}
});
Simple and clean code. It works and tested against:
"mongodb": "^3.6.0",
"mongoose": "^5.10.0",
Use this format of querying
let arr = _categories.map(ele => new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(ele.id));
Item.find({ vendorId: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(_vendorId) , status:'Active'})
.where('category')
.in(arr)
.exec();
This code works for me just fine as of mongoDB v4.2 and mongoose 5.9.9:
const Ids = ['id1','id2','id3']
const results = await Model.find({ _id: Ids})
and the Ids can be of type ObjectId or String
Both node.js and MongoChef force me to convert to ObjectId. This is what I use to grab a list of users from the DB and fetch a few properties. Mind the type conversion on line 8.
// this will complement the list with userName and userPhotoUrl
// based on userId field in each item
augmentUserInfo = function(list, callback) {
var userIds = [];
var users = []; // shortcut to find them faster afterwards
for (l in list) { // first build the search array
var o = list[l];
if (o.userId) {
userIds.push(new mongoose.Types.ObjectId(o.userId)); // for Mongo query
users[o.userId] = o; // to find the user quickly afterwards
}
}
db.collection("users").find({
_id: {
$in: userIds
}
}).each(function(err, user) {
if (err) {
callback(err, list);
} else {
if (user && user._id) {
users[user._id].userName = user.fName;
users[user._id].userPhotoUrl = user.userPhotoUrl;
} else { // end of list
callback(null, list);
}
}
});
}
if you are using the async-await syntax you can use
const allPerformanceIds = ["id1", "id2", "id3"];
const findPerformances = await Performance.find({
_id: {
$in: allPerformanceIds
}
});
I tried like below and it works for me.
var array_ids = [1, 2, 6, 9]; // your array of ids
model.find({
'_id': {
$in: array_ids
}
}).toArray(function(err, data) {
if (err) {
logger.winston.error(err);
} else {
console.log("data", data);
}
});
I am using this query to find the files in mongo GridFs. I wanted to get the by its Ids.
For me this solution is working: Ids type of ObjectId.
gfs.files
.find({ _id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId('618d1c8176b8df2f99f23ccb') })
.toArray((err, files) => {
if (!files || files.length === 0) {
return res.json('no file exist');
}
return res.json(files);
next();
});
This is not working: Id type of string
gfs.files
.find({ _id: '618d1c8176b8df2f99f23ccb' })
.toArray((err, files) => {
if (!files || files.length === 0) {
return res.json('no file exist');
}
return res.json(files);
next();
});
