Example of the document:
{
postId:'232323',
post:'This is my first post',
commentsOnPost:[
{
commentId:'232323_8888',
comment:'Congrats',
repliesOnPost:[
{
replyId:'232323_8888_66666',
reply:'Thanks',
likesOnReply:['user1','user5','user3'],
}
]
}
]
}
I want to add userid
in likesOnReply
if users do not exist in likesOnReply
, similarly remove userid
from likesOnReply
if exist.
I have tried like this but not working properly
await collection('post').findOneAndUpdate(
{
postId: postId,
'commentsOnPost.commentId': commentId,
'commentsOnPost.repliesOnPost.replyId': replyId
},
{
$push: { 'commentsOnPost.$[].repliesOnPost.$.likes': userid },
},
);
There is no straight way to do both the operation to pull or push in a single query,
There are 2 approaches,
1) Find and update using 2 queries:
$push
to insert element$pull
to remove elementvar post = await collection('post').findOne({
posted: postId,
ommentsOnPost: {
$elemMatch: {
commentId: commentId,
repliesOnPost: {
$elemMatch: {
replyId: replyId
likesOnReply: userid
}
}
}
}
});
var updateOperator = "$push";
// FOUND USER ID THEN DO REMOVE OPERATION
if (post) updateOperator = "$pull";
// QUERY
await collection('post').updateOne(
{ postId: postId },
{
[updateOperator]: {
"commentsOnPost.$[c].repliesOnPost.$[r].likesOnReply": userid
}
},
{
arrayFilters: [
{ "c.commentId": commentId },
{ "r.replyId": replyId }
]
}
)
2) Update with aggregation pipeline starting from MongoDB 4.2:
$map
to iterate loop of commentsOnPost
array check condition if commentId
match then go to next process otherwise return existing object$mergeObjects
to merge current object with updated fields$map
to iterate loop of repliesOnPost
array and check condition if replyId
match then go to next process otherwise return an existing objectlikesOnReply
has userid
then do remove using $filter
otherwise insert using $concatArrays
await collection('post').findOneAndUpdate(
{ postId: "232323" },
[{
$set: {
commentsOnPost: {
$map: {
input: "$commentsOnPost",
in: {
$cond: [
{ $eq: ["$$this.commentId", commentId] },
{
$mergeObjects: [
"$$this",
{
repliesOnPost: {
$map: {
input: "$$this.repliesOnPost",
in: {
$cond: [
{ $eq: ["$$this.replyId", replyId] },
{
$mergeObjects: [
"$$this",
{
likesOnReply: {
$cond: [
{ $in: [userid, "$$this.likesOnReply"] },
{
$filter: {
input: "$$this.likesOnReply",
cond: { $ne: ["$$this", userid] }
}
},
{
$concatArrays: ["$$this.likesOnReply", [userid]]
}
]
}
}
]
},
"$$this"
]
}
}
}
}
]
},
"$$this"
]
}
}
}
}
}]
)
