Mongoose get current data even it's not valid with the model - node.js

Question

I changed two properties in my User.model:
address: [
{
street: String,
number: Number,
city: String,
country: String
}],
phone: [
{
landLine: String,
mobilePhone: String
}]
to only a object:
address:{
street: String,
number: Number,
city: String,
country: String
},
phone:{
landLine: String,
mobilePhone: String
}
However, there are still some users which holds an array on it. So I created an script to update those users, but when using User.find({}), the phone and address property are undefined. I guess that is because that there are not valid with the current model.
Since user.address and user.phone are both undefined, the data object will only contain 2 empty objects for phone and address which results in users without address and phone.
This is the code which I use for getting and updating the users:
function updateUser(id, data){
return new Promise( (resolve, reject) =>{
User.findByIdAndUpdate(
{_id: id},
{
$set: data
}
).exec( (err, res) => {
if(err) return reject(err);
return resolve();
})
})
}
module.exports.updateUsers = (req, res) => {
Users.find({}).exec( (err, users) => {
//For testing, update only 1 user
//User.find({username: 'some#emailaddress'}).exec( (err, users) => {
if(err) return res.status(500).json({message: "Error getting users"})
return blueBird.mapSeries(users, (user) => {
let data = {
address: {},
phone: {}
}
if(user.address && user.address.length > 0){
data.address = user.address[0];
}
if(user.phone && user.phone.length > 0){
data.phone = user.phone[0];
}
return updateUser(user._id, data);
})
.then(() => {
return res.status(200).json({ status: true, message: "Users are updated" });
})
.catch((e) => {
return res.status(500).json({ status: false, message: "Some error occured while code execute.", error: e });
})
})
}
How can I get the current data from the model without validation from the model?

I think you should revert your address and phone Schema, and create temporary fields (like tmpAddress and tmpPhone) with you new Object schema like this :
address: [{
street: String,
number: Number,
city: String,
country: String
}],
phone: [{
landLine: String,
mobilePhone: String
}],
tmpAddress: {
street: String,
number: Number,
city: String,
country: String
},
tmpPhone: {
landLine: String,
mobilePhone: String
}
And then you save your new fields like this :
data.tmpAddress = user.address[0];
data.tmpPhone = user.phone[0];
Once this is done, you can rewrite your address and phone Fields with Object Schema, copy tmpAddress -> address and tmpPhone -> phone, and delete tmpAddress and tmpPhone fields.
Hope it helps.
