Pushing data to nested array returns an error of 'TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined'
I am using ExpressJS and Mongoose. I am trying to add a data on 3rd level array but it seems that it can't be mapped. here is my sample code:
Here is my model schema, where my collection contains Object where it contains an Element array and under it contains SubElement array
"_id" : "5ab1218975819",
"objectName" : "sample",
"elements" : [
{
"_id" : "5abkj2348",
"elementName" : "some text here",
"subElements" : [
{
"This is where I put my desired data"
}
]
}
]
Model
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var subElementSchema= new Schema({
subElementName: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
subElements: {type: [subElementSchema], default: }
}, {
versionKey: false
});
var elementSchema= new Schema({
elementName: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
subElements: {type: [subElementSchema], default: }
}, {
versionKey: false
});
var objectSchema= new Schema({
project: {type: String, required: true, trim: true, lowercase: true},
projectName: {type: String, required: true, trim: true},
objectName: {type: String, required: true},
elements: {type: [elementSchema], default: },
createdAt: {type: Date},
updatedAt: {type: Date}
}, {
versionKey: false,
collection: 'objects'
});
exports.SubElement= mongoose.model('SubElement', subElementSchema);
exports.Element= mongoose.model('Element', elementSchema);
exports.Object= mongoose.model('Object', objectSchema);
Controller
This is where the action happens, wherein the request.params contains the id of element where subElement should be inserted. I have tried using object.elements.subElements.push but it's not working. it returns an error of TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined
exports.createSubElement= function (req, res) {
var payload = req.body;
return Endpoint.Object.findOne({ 'elements._id': req.params.elementId}, { 'elements.$': 1}, function (err, object) {
if (err)
return res.status(500).send({ message: 'An error occurednMessage: ' + err });
if (!object)
return res.status(404).send({ message: 'Element not Found' });
else {
var subElement= new Endpoint.SubElement(payload);
object.elements.subElements.push(subElement);
object.save(function (err) {
if (err)
return res.status(500).send({ message: 'An error occurednMessage: ' + err });
return res.status(201).send({ subElement });
})
}
})
}
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
