Node.js + MongoDB: insert one and return the newly inserted document

Question

I\'m wondering if there is a way to insert new document and return it in one go.

This is what I\'m currently using:

db.collection(\'mycollection\').i         


        

Answer 1

The response result contains information about whether the command was successful or not and the number of records inserted.

If you want to return inserted data, you can try response.ops, for example:

db.collection('mycollection').insertOne(doc, function (error, response) {
    if(error) {
        console.log('Error occurred while inserting');
       // return 
    } else {
       console.log('inserted record', response.ops[0]);
      // return 
    }
});
