$push in MongoDb not working? - arrays

Question

my schema looks like this:
var exampleSchema = newSchema({
profile:{
experience :[{
exp : String
}]
}
});
this is the codes to update experience in profile collection:
exampleSchema.statics.experience = function (id,experience, callback){
var update = {
$push: {
'profile.experience': experience
}
}
this.findByIdAndUpdate(id,update,function(err) {
if (err) {
callback(err);
} else {
callback(null);
}
})
I was getting error like The field 'profile.experience' must be an array but is of type String in document {_id: ObjectId('5653f1d852cf7b4c0bfeb54a')}[object Object]
console.log(experience) is equal to
{ exp: 'jlkjlkjlk' }
my collection should look like this:
experience:[
{
exp : "YYYY"
},
{
exp:"xxxx"}
]

Answer 1

Imagine that you have this collection:
/* 1 */
{
"_id" : ObjectId("565425e862760dfe14339ba8"),
"profile" : {
"experience" : [
{
"exp" : "Experto"
}
]
}
}
/* 2 */
{
"_id" : ObjectId("565425f562760dfe14339ba9"),
"profile" : {
"experience" : {
"exp" : "Experto"
}
}
}
/* 3 */
{
"_id" : ObjectId("5654260662760dfe14339baa"),
"profile" : {
"experience" : "Experto"
}
}
If you try (update doc /* 2 */):
db.profile.update(
{ _id: ObjectId("565425f562760dfe14339ba9") },
{ $push: { "profile.experience" : { exp : "Intermediate" } } }
)
You get this error:
The field 'profile.experience' must be an array but is of type Object
in document {_id: ObjectId('565425f562760dfe14339ba9')}
And if you try (update doc /* 3 */):
db.profile.update(
{ _id: ObjectId("5654260662760dfe14339baa") },
{ $push: { "profile.experience" : { exp : "Intermediate" } } }
)
You will get:
The field 'profile.experience' must be an array but is of type String
in document {_id: ObjectId('5654260662760dfe14339baa')}

Answer 2

i changed Schema like this
experience : [{type:String,exp:String}],
my update object looks like this
var update = {
$push: {
'profile.experience': san.exp
}
};
san looks like this :{ exp: 'YYY' }
Inside mongoose collectionlooks like this used RoboMongo
"experience" : [
"experienced in XXX",
"YYY"
],

Answer 3

$push: {
'profile.experience': experience
}
Remove .exp.

Answer 4

First you have to check you declared your field as an array like this(look at field products):
shop = {
'name': "Apple Store",
'description': "",
'direction': "",
'contact': "",
'products':[]
}
Now if you want to add something to the field products using $push
product = {
'name': "Iphone 6",
'description': "Iphone model 6, 64GB",
'price': 700,
'count': 3
}
myquery = { "name" : "Apple Store" }
obj ={"$push":{"products":{"$each": [product]}}}
db.collection.update_one(myquery,obj)
This code is provided for PyMongo framework. To use in MongoDB directly replace update_one by update. Mongo resource

Answer 5

You may use $set instead of $push which might work.
$set: {
'profile.experience': experience
}

Answer 6

are you searching for adding multiple values into single field then use this one.
write this one your model or schema:
arrayremarks:[{remark: String}]
then write in your controller:
module.exports.addingremarks = (req, res) => {
let casenum=JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(req.body.casenum).replace(/"\s+|\s+"/g,'"'))
var rem={remark:"Suman macha"}
Inwart.update( { 'casenum': casenum },{ $push: { arrayremarks:rem} } ,function (err, inwarts) {
if (err)
return console.error(err);
res.send(inwarts);
}
)
}
