MongoDB Object key with ES6 template string

Question

I\'m trying to update an array in my collection with this:

 var str = \"list.0.arr\";
    db.collection(\'connect\').update({_id: id}, {$push:  { `${str}`: i         


        

Answer 1

Template literals cannot be used as key in an object literal. Use a computed property instead:

db.collection('connect').update({_id: id}, {$push: {[str]: item}}); 
//                                                  ^^^^^
