Push values into array with mongoose












0















I have a problem pushing values into an array with mongoose (yes I have read many topics about it and tried many ways to do it).



So I have this schema



const Postit = new Schema({
text: {
type: String,
required: true
},
status: {
type: String,
default: 'TODO'
},
modified: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now
},
user: {
type: ObjectId,
ref: 'User',
required: true
},
collaborators: [String]
})


And I'm trying to push a string in the collaborators property where the queries match.



So this is the method I use to update it



addCollaborator(uid, pid) {
return Postit.updateOne({
_id: pid,
user: uid
},
{ $push: { collaborators: 'pepe' } },
(err, raw) => {
//TO DO
})
}


But nothing happens. The query match because if I change $push for $set and put a new value to status property for example it updates.



The funny thing is that if I run it in mongodb client terminal it works.



db.postits.updateOne({
_id: ObjectId("5beb1492cf484233f8e21ac1"),
user: ObjectId("5beb1492cf484233f8e21abf")
},
{ $push: {collaborators: 'pepe' }
})


What i'm doing wrong?

          Pick promises or callbacks but do not mix them together. Either you do:



          addCollaborator(uid, pid) {
          Postit.updateOne({
          _id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(pid),
          user: uid
          },
          { $push: { collaborators: 'pepe' } },
          (err, raw) => {
          // TO DO
          })
          }


          Or you do:



          addCollaborator(uid, pid) {
          return Postit.updateOne({
          _id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(pid),
          user: uid
          },
          { $push: { collaborators: 'pepe' } }).exec()
          .then(result => {
          // TO DO
          })
          }


          Also make sure your objectId is an actual mongoose.Types.ObjectId
