MongoDB - find one and add a new property - node.js

Question

Background: Im developing an app that shows analytics for inventory management.
It gets an office EXCEL file uploaded, and as the file uploads the app convert it to an array of JSONs. Then, it comapers each json object with the objects in the DB, change its quantity according to the XLS file, and add a timestamp to the stamps array which contain the changes in qunatity.
For example:
{"_id":"5c3f531baf4fe3182cf4f1f2",
"sku":123456,
"product_name":"Example",
"product_cost":10,
"product_price":60,
"product_quantity":100,
"Warehouse":4,
"stamps":[]
}
after the XLS upload, lets say we sold 10 units, it should look like that:
{"_id":"5c3f531baf4fe3182cf4f1f2",
"sku":123456,
"product_name":"Example",
"product_cost":10,
"product_price":60,
"product_quantity":90,
"Warehouse":4,
"stamps":[{"1548147562": -10}]
}
Right now i cant find the right commands for mongoDB to do it, Im developing in Node.js and Angular, Would love to read some ideas.
for (let i = 0; i < products.length; i++) {
ProductsDatabase.findOneAndUpdate(
{"_id": products[i]['id']},
//CHANGE QUANTITY AND ADD A STAMP
...
}

Answer 1

You would need two operations here. The first will be to get an array of documents from the db that match the ones in the JSON array. From the list you compare the 'product_quantity' keys and if there is a change, create a new array of objects with the product id and change in quantity.
The second operation will be an update which uses this new array with the change in quantity for each matching product.
Armed with this new array of updated product properties, it would be ideal to use a bulk update for this as looping through the list and sending
each update request to the server can be computationally costly.
Consider using the bulkWrite method which is on the model. This accepts an array of write operations and executes each of them of which a typical update operation
for your use case would have the following structure
{ updateOne :
{
"filter" : <document>,
"update" : <document>,
"upsert" : <boolean>,
"collation": <document>,
"arrayFilters": [ <filterdocument1>, ... ]
}
}
So your operations would follow this pattern:
(async () => {
let bulkOperations = []
const ids = products.map(({ id }) => id)
const matchedProducts = await ProductDatabase.find({
'_id': { '$in': ids }
}).lean().exec()
for(let product in products) {
const [matchedProduct, ...rest] = matchedProducts.filter(p => p._id === product.id)
const { _id, product_quantity } = matchedProduct
const changeInQuantity = product.product_quantity - product_quantity
if (changeInQuantity !== 0) {
const stamps = { [(new Date()).getTime()] : changeInQuantity }
bulkOperations.push({
'updateOne': {
'filter': { _id },
'update': {
'$inc': { 'product_quantity': changeInQuantity },
'$push': { stamps }
}
}
})
}
}
const bulkResult = await ProductDatabase.bulkWrite(bulkOperations)
console.log(bulkResult)
})()

You can use mongoose's findOneAndUpdate to update the existing value of a document.
"use strict";
const ids = products.map(x => x._id);
let operations = products.map(xlProductData => {
return ProductsDatabase.find({
_id: {
$in: ids
}
}).then(products => {
return products.map(productData => {
return ProductsDatabase.findOneAndUpdate({
_id: xlProductData.id // or product._id
}, {
sku: xlProductData.sku,
product_name: xlProductData.product_name,
product_cost: xlProductData.product_cost,
product_price: xlProductData.product_price,
Warehouse: xlProductData.Warehouse,
product_quantity: productData.product_quantity - xlProductData.product_quantity,
$push: {
stamps: {
[new Date().getTime()]: -1 * xlProductData.product_quantity
}
},
updated_at: new Date()
}, {
upsert: false,
returnNewDocument: true
});
});
});
});
Promise.all(operations).then(() => {
console.log('All good');
}).catch(err => {
console.log('err ', err);
});
