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

Create the update document with the string as key prior to using it in the update:

var str = "list.0.arr",
    query = { "_id": id },
    update = { "$push": {} };
update["$push"][str] = item;
db.collection('connect').update(query, update);
