Add key value pair data - node.js

Question

I have a schema in Mongoose that looks like this:
const SocketDetailsUserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
userId: String,
socketValue: [{
id: String,
data : String
}],
isDeleted: Boolean,
dateCreated: Date,
updateAt: Date
});
I want to insert data of socketValue in key value pair in array format. Which should look like ,
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5a12809c7f7afb1e3626857f"),
"userId" : "59eee19696fe6560cd54a081",
"socketValue" : [{"id":"5a05855b10600e4aa5b3a48e" , "value" : "123" }],[{"id":"5a0ae037a90746c249b6c1f7" , "value" : "456" }],
"isDeleted" : false
"__v" : 0
}
This is the mongoose data format.
How can i insert data in mongoose like this ?
I am also confused that how should i post data from postman to insert data in this ?

Answer 1

I think your current structure is good just add _id: false to avoid to add auto generated _id in socketValue. like
socketValue: [{
id: String,
data : String,
_id: false
}],
for this structure data will store like:
"socketValue" : [{"id":"5a05855b10600e4aa5b3a48e" , "value" : "123" },{"id":"5a0ae037a90746c249b6c1f7" , "value" : "456" }]"
then you can easily update or add new socketValue. I think this [{..},{..},{..}] is the better structure instead of [[{..}][{..}]] this structure.
and for this structure postman request body should contain like.
{
"userId" : "59eee19696fe6560cd54a081",
"socketValue" : [{"id":"5a05855b10600e4aa5b3a48e" , "value" : "123" },{"id":"5a0ae037a90746c249b6c1f7" , "value" : "456" }]",
"isDeleted" : false
}
and in your server side code just use like
var newSocket = new Socket(req.body); // assume your model name is Socket
newSocket.save();

Your postman input data should be raw json format
{
"userId" : "59eee19696fe6560cd54a081",
"socketValue" : [{"id":"5a05855b10600e4aa5b3a48e" , "value" : "123" },{"id":"5a0ae037a90746c249b6c1f7" , "value" : "456" }]",
"isDeleted" : false
}
Your server code
var insertDoc = new collectionname(details);
inserDoc.save(function (err) {
if (err) {
//callback err
} else {
//callback result
}
});
