Mongoose, pull from subdocument

Question

This is my document:

{ 
  password: \'87654321\',
  title: \'Organization A\',
  members: 
   [ { tier: 1,
       joinedDate: Sun May 12 2013 00:00:00 GMT+02         


        

Answer 1

It appears that the MongooseArray#pull method only works if your elements have _id properties.

I find it easier to use direct calls to update to avoid these sorts of surprises:

mongoose.model('organization').update(
    {_id: user.organization},
    {$pull: {members: {user: user._id}}},
    function(err, numAffected) { ... }
);
