Insert a whole json Without creating different node in mongodb - node.js

Question

i have a collection named drop down and i want to insert all the drop down static JSON values in a single collections without creating different node
for eg this is my json
"education": [
"Master",
"Bachelor"
],
"diet": [
"Veg",
"Non Veg"
]
Later on if i need to add more drop down values i don't have to alter the mongoose schema ,i could directly insert the json list
Is it possible or not? Sorry i am new to the Mongodb

Answer 1

Finally an idea strike on my mind and got the appropriate answer of my own question and like to share here. What i did is , I create the Schema as
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const dropDownSchema = new mongoose.Schema({dropDown : mongoose.Schema.Types.Mixed})
module.exports.DropDownList =mongoose.model("DropDownList",dropDownSchema);
later on while passing data from the client
{
"dropDown":
{
"education": [
"Master"
,"Bachelor"
],
"diet": [
"Veg"
,"Non Veg"
]
}
}
While inserting data i first delete all data and insert the fresh one from the API

First find the document in that collection. Assume that we are requesting with the document _id and we are using mongoose model named Dropdown.
Example:
const document = await Dropdown.findOne({_id});
//Once you have found the document
// Add or change the existing fields
document[new_value_name] = new_values.map(val => val);
await document.save();

If you want to store it in array of object in mongodb then you can also create a schema with Array of dropdowns
var DropdownSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
dropdowns:[{
dropdown_key: { type: String },
dropdown_values: [{type: String}]
}]});
While inserting data you will need to loop through Object.keys of your json list and insert into as array . You can add number of dropdown as it is stored as array of object.
Please let me know if it helps.
