Mongoose deleting (pull) a document within an array, does not work with ObjectID

Question

I have the following mongoose schema:

user = {
    \"userId\" : \"myId\",
    \"connections\":
    [{
        \"dateConnectedUnix\": 1334567891,
        \"is         


        

Answer 1

To use update with ObjectId, you should use ObjectId object instead of string representation :

var ObjectId = require('mongoose').Types.ObjectId;

userAccounts.update({'connections._id': new ObjectId('1234-someId-6789') }, 
                {$pull: { 'connections._id': new ObjectId('1234-someId-6789') }}, 
                function (err,val) {
                    console.log(val)
                });
