.updateOne on MongoDB not working in Node.js

Question

I have the following code:

connection((db) => {
            db.collection(\'orders\')
                .updateOne(
                    { \"_id\": req.body         


        

Answer 1

Use {$set: {"name": req.body.name}} (as Sparw mentioned) to update the the properties you want in the document. Also, if the id that you pass as a parameter does not exists in the collection (and you want to create one with the same id) you can pass as a third parameter {upsert: true} to create one.

In your example:

connection((db) => {
          db.collection('orders')
               .updateOne(
                  { "_id": req.body._id}, // Filter
                  {$set: {"name": req.body.name}}, // Update
                  {upsert: true} // add document with req.body._id if not exists 

             )
            .then((obj) => {
               console.log('Updated - ' + obj);
              res.redirect('orders')
         })
        .catch((err) => {
           console.log('Error: ' + err);
      }) })
