How to add to an array of objects with Node.js and Mongoose?

Hi so I have an an array of object like this:



[
{
"_id": "5bf43c42a09e1129b8f0cd4c",
"user": "5bc89dec5f6e1103f808671b",
"StudentGrades": [
{
"_id": "5bf43daf58f0f803d4e9760b",
"classCode": "ENG1A0",
"gradeLevel": 12,
"credit": 1,
"mark": 67
}
],
"__v": 0
}
]


Using node.js and mongoose I want add another object in the Student Grades array. The API code I have now is only updating the array and not appending to it. I was wondering whats the correct way to add another object to the StudentGrades array of objects.



router.put('/:user_id', function(req, res) {
let id = req.params.user_id;
const gradeFields = {
classCode: req.body.classCode,
gradeLevel: req.body.gradeLevel,
credit: req.body.credit,
mark: req.body.mark
};
passport.authenticate('jwt', { session: false }), UserGrades.update({ user: id }, gradeFields, function(err, raw) {
if (err) {
res.send(err);
} else {
res.send(gradeFields);
}
});
});


I also tried using UserGrades.findOneandUpdate but that was also doing the same thing, it was only editing the values in the object and not appending another object to it. I am guessing I have to push the values, but I am not sure how. Help would be appreciated

  • Have you used $push in findOneAndUpdate? It should work.
