I have a subdocument inside a dosument and when I update my document, I want to generate ObjectId's. Both update and findByIdAndUpdate dont do that. I actually have to manually do that in my controller. Is there any way i can make it work?
const productSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
...
reports: [ReportSchema]
})
const ReportSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
...
info: String,
date: date
})
my controller:
updateProduct: async (req, res) => {
const product = await Product.update({id: id}, {
$push: {
report: {
info: info,
date: new Date(),
//_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId() // only this works
},
}, $set: {isReport: true}}
)
res.status(200).send()
}
}
