Push data in nested arrays nodeJs, MongoDB - arrays

Question

I Have Document Like,
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5ab4cc12c773133bae3d8dc9"),
"__v" : 19.0,
"geoGraphicalFilter" : {
"aCountries" : [
{
"country" : "Spain",
"_id" : ObjectId("5ad49ab21210c42aa6ccba23"),
"cities" : [ ]
},
{
"country" : "India",
"_id" : ObjectId("5ad49ab21210c42aa6ccba24"),
"cities" : [ ]
}
]
}
}
Model
const HuntingWindow = new Schema({
geoGraphicalFilter: {
aCountries: [
{
country: String,
cities: { type: Array }
}
]
},
});
Snippet
const addCityFilter = (req, res) => {
if (req.body.aCities === "") {
res.status(409).jsonp({ message: adminMessages.err_fill_val_properly });
return false;
} else {
var Cities = req.body.aCities.split(",");
huntingModel.update({ _id: req.body.id,"data.geoGraphicalFilter.aCountries":req.body.sName },
{$push:{"geoGraphicalFilter.0.aCountries.$.cities":Cities}},
(error, data) => {
// Cities.forEach(element => {
// data.geoGraphicalFilter.aCountries.find(req.body.sName)
// });
data.save((error, success) => {
res.status(200).jsonp({
message: adminMessages.succ_countryFilter_added
});
});
});
}
};
Now I want to first Find Document by root id and then I want to match the country name and insert the cities in the Array. I am new to MongoDB and nodejs how can i do this ? While i am trying to with update query but i thing i am doing it on wrong way plese help me with it.

Try following code:
huntingModel.update(
{ _id: ObjectId("5ab4cc12c773133bae3d8dc9"), "geoGraphicalFilter.aCountries.country": "Spain" },
{ $addToSet: { "geoGraphicalFilter.aCountries.$.cities": { $each: [ "city1", "city2" ] } } }
)
You should specify two filtering conditions: one for entire document and one to match array element. Then you can use $ operator to update first matching document in that array. To push multiple values you can use $each operator. To ensure that there will be no duplicates you should use $addToSet
