Does Mongoose support the Mongodb `findAndModify` method?

Question

I would like to use findAndModify to atomically increment a field, using Mongoose.

However, the code below throws the error \"TypeError: Object # has no method \'fin

Answer 1

In version 3, the mongoose findOneAndUpdate method exposes mongodb's findAndModify operation. It works like so:

var query = { name: 'Sprinkls' };
var update = { name: 'Sprinkles' };
var options = { new: false };
Cat.findOneAndUpdate(query, update, options, function (err, cat) {
  if (err) ..
  render('cat', cat);
});
