nodejs mongoose push to an array inside schema [duplicate] - arrays

pushing object into array schema in Mongoose

Closed 5 years ago.
I have a mongoose schema inbox-model:
var schema = mongoose.Schema({
email: String,
data: [{
from: String,
to: String,
msg: String
}]
})
var Inbox = module.exports = mongoose.model('Inbox',schema);
module.exports.addData = function(inbox, callBack){
inbox.save(callBack);
}
I need to add to data[] array for a specific email when there's new data for that email address.
I can add data this way, through my router by calling:
var Inbox = require('inbox-model');
var inbox = new Inbox({
email: 'some#email.com',
data:[{
from: 'from',
to: 'to',
msg: 'msg'
})
Inbox.addData(inbox, Inbox);
though it doesn't add to data[] but keeps adding a whole row.
Help is much appreciated, I've searched for similar questions, but I couldn't find on adding data, just creating models with arrays.

This question has been answered a lot of time on StackOverflow. However, I'm answering it again
// Schema File - userSchema.js
const userSchema = new Schema({
email: { type: String, required: true },
data: [{
from: String,
to: String,
msg: String
}]
})
const user = mongoose.model('user', userSchema)
module.exports = user
// Service File
const user = require('./userSchema')
function someFunction(email, from, to, message) {
user.findOne({ email: email }, function(err, document) {
if (document) {
document.data.push({
from: from,
to: to,
msg: message
})
document.save(function(err) {
err != null ? console.log(err) : console.log('Data updated')
})
}
})
}
