creating array field in mongodb using mongoose - node.js

Question

I am trying to create a collection in mongodb where a field named lists will contain an array of link and linkName. I am successfully able to create a two seperate field link and linkName, however not able to store the value inside lists.
Model code for mongodb :-
const socialSchema = new Schema({
lists: [{
link:{ formType: String},
linkName: { formType: String}
}]
})
API code :-(this code is for creating only, will later on try to use findOneAndUpdate to update the existing field
router.route('/', [auth]).post(async (req, res) => {
const {linkName, link } = req.body
try {
console.log(req.body)//Ex. { linkName: 'facebook', link: 'www.facebook.com'}
const social = new Social({
//Stuck here!!!
})
await social.save()
res.json(social)
} catch (err) {
console.error(err.message);
res.status(500).send('Server Errors')
}
}
)
Part of frontend Code(React)
const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
linkName: '',
link: ''
});
const {linkName, link} = formData
const onChange = e =>
setFormData({ ...formData, [e.target.name]: e.target.value });
const handleSubmit = async e => {
e.preventDefault()
const socialList = {
linkName,
link
}
try {
const config = {
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
};
const body = JSON.stringify(socialList)
const res = await Axios.post('/api/social', body, config)
console.log(res)
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}
}

In your schema change from {formType: String} to {type: String}.
const data = {link: req.body.link, linkName: req.body.linkName};
Social.create({
links: [data]
});
This should work.
MY FULL WORKING CODE THAT I TESTED
const schema = new mongoose.Schema({
links: [
{
link: { type: String },
linkName: { type: String }
}
]
});
const Model = mongoose.model("test", schema);
const doc = { link: "link", linkName: "linkname" };
Model.create({
links: [doc]
});
