books-controllers
I want the data to appear by the name in the postman and not the ID because I have information and I want to fetch it through the name in the database
const getByName = async (req, res, next) => {
const name = req.params.name;
let book;
try {
book = await Book.getByName("name");
} catch (err) {
console.log(err);
}
if (!book)
return res.status(404).json({ message: "No book found" });
}
return res.status(200).json({ book });
};
modelSchema
Here is the Skyma model
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const bookSchema = new Schema({
name: {
type: String,
require: true
},
description: {
type: String,
require: true
},
price: {
type: Number,
require: true
},
avilable: {
type: Boolean,
},
image: {
type: String,
require: true
},
});
module.exports = mongoose.model("Book", bookSchema);
There in no in-built method in mongoose getByName. You can use generic find to search for object using name
let book = await Book.find({ name: name }).exec();
You can also use findOne if needed.
You can try this -
async function getByName(req, res){
const bookname = req.params.name ;
try {
const book = await Book.findOne({name: bookname})
if(book!==null) {
res.status(200).send({'data': book}) ;
}
else {
res.status(404).send("No book found !")
}
}
catch(error) {
console.log(error)
res.send("Error")
}
}

I created an API for following and followers user for Social Media Application, while request from postman getting empty object: {} But it seems to me to be correct.
Model:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const UserSchema = mongoose.Schema({
username: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
firstname: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
lastname: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
isAdmin: {
type: Boolean,
default: false,
},
profilePicture: String,
coverPicture: String,
about: String,
livesin: String,
workAt: String,
relationship: String,
followers: [],
following: []
},{
timestamps:true
}
);
const UserModel = mongoose.model("Users", UserSchema);
module.exports = UserModel;
UserControler:
const UserModel = require("../Models/Usermodel");
const bcrypt = require("bcryptjs");
const followUser = async (req, res) => {
const id = req.params.id.trim();
const { currentUserId } = req.body;
if (currentUserId === id) {
res.status(403).send("Action forbiden");
} else {
try {
const followUser = await UserModel.findById(id);
const followingUser = await UserModel.findById(currentUserId);
if (!followUser.followers.includes(currentUserId)) {
await followUser.updateOne({ $push: { followers: currentUserId } });
await followingUser.updateOne({ $push: { following: id } });
res.status(200).send({message:"User Followed"});
} else {
res.status(403).send("User alredy followed by you!");
}
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).send(error);
}
}
};
module.exports = { getUser, updateUser, userDelete, followUser };
UserRoute:
const express = require("express");
const {getUser,updateUser, userDelete, followUser} = require("../Controller/userControler");
const router = express.Router()
router.get("/:id",getUser)
router.put("/:id",updateUser)
router.delete("/:id", userDelete)
router.put("/:id/follow", followUser)
module.exports=router;
index.js:
app.use("/user",UserRoute)
Here is the complete details regarding the error, let me know what happens in the code, thank you.
i assume that you have all the other functions other than followUser in your controller.js
The thing is that you must first specify the field name on the basis of which you want to update the document.
Here is what you need to do;
const UserModel = require("../Models/Usermodel");
const bcrypt = require("bcryptjs");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");//updated line
const followUser = async (req, res) => {
const id = req.params.id.trim();
const { currentUserId } = req.body;
if (currentUserId === id) {
res.status(403).send("Action forbiden");
} else {
try {
const followUser = await UserModel.findById({_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(id)});
const followingUser = await UserModel.findById({_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(currentUserId)});
if (!followUser.followers.includes(currentUserId)) {
await followUser.updateOne({_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(*id of the user you want to update*)},{ $push: { followers: currentUserId } });
await followingUser.updateOne({_id: mongoose.Types.ObjectId(*id of the user you want to update*)}{ $push: { following: id } });
res.status(200).send({message:"User Followed"});
} else {
res.status(403).send("User alredy followed by you!");
}
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).send(error);
}
}
};
module.exports = { getUser, updateUser, userDelete, followUser };
And while hitting the api pls make sure that your route should be
localhost:port-number/user/12345789/follow
and also make sure that the API type in postman must be same as in the backend e.g; PUT
please try findByIdAndUpdate query insted of using updateOne
i am working on a mern project where i need to create an agenda that contains an attribute as array of appointments types.
in the nodejs api i am declaring a var typeRefs = [];
if a type is present in the types model i insert its ref in the previous array else i create the type and insert the new type ref in the previous array, finally i create the agenda doc based on the typeRefs array, but the array is empty outside the map function scope , inside the map function scope i can see the array values changing.
//agenda model
const agendaSchema = mongoose.Schema(
{
name: String,
types: [{ type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "Type" }],
establishment: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "Establishment",
},
template: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "Template" },
isActive: { type: Boolean, default: true },
},
{ timestamps: true }
);
var Agenda = mongoose.model("Agenda", agendaSchema);
export default Agenda;
// types model
import mongoose from "mongoose";
const typeSchema = mongoose.Schema(
{
name: String,
duration: Number,
color: String,
online: { type: Boolean, default: true },
establishment: {
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "Establishment",
},
},
{ timestamps: true }
);
var Type = mongoose.model("Type", typeSchema);
export default Type;
// api function for agenda creation
export const add = async (req, res) => {
var data = req.body;
try {
var typesRefs = [];
data.types.map((type) => {
Type.find({ name: type.text.toUpperCase() }, (err, res) => {
if (res.length === 0) {
const newType = new Type({
name: type.text.toUpperCase(),
establishment: data.establishment,
});
newType.save();
typesRefs = [...typesRefs, newType._id];
} else {
typesRefs = [...typesRefs, type._id];
}
});
});
console.log(typesRefs);
await Agenda.create({ ...data, types: typesRefs });
res.status(200).json({ message: "Agenda created successfully" });
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
res.status(401).json({ message: "An error occured !" });
}
};
the trick is to use a for loop instead of map function.
export const add = async (req, res) => {
var data = req.body;
var typeRefs = [];
try {
for (let i = 0; i < data.types.length; i++) {
const typeExist = await Type.find({
name: data.types[i].text.toUpperCase(),
});
if (typeExist.length === 0) {
const newType = await Type.create({
name: data.types[i].text.toUpperCase(),
establishment: data.establishment,
});
typeRefs = [...typeRefs, newType._id];
} else {
typeRefs = [...typeRefs, data.types[i]._id];
}
}
console.log(typeRefs);
await Agenda.create({ ...data, types: typeRefs });
res.status(200).json({ message: "Agenda created successfully" });
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
res.status(401).json({ message: "An error occured !" });
}
};
Hello I want to find posts which user has made ..
I do my request with JWT Token:
###
http://localhost:8080/forum/getByOwnerID
Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
This is my create function :
exports.create = async (req, res) => {
const { forumName, forumDescription } = req.body;
const token = req.token;
const forumExist = await Forum.findOne({ forumName: req.body.forumName });
if(forumExist){
res.status(400).send("Forum Exists already.");
}
try{
const owner = await User.findOne({userID:token._id});
if (!forumName || !forumDescription) {
res.status(400);
throw new Error("Please Fill all the feilds");
return;
}
else {
const newForum = new Forum({ forumName, forumDescription,user: owner.userID });
newForum.user = owner;
const createdNote = await newForum.save();
res.status(201).json(createdNote);
}
}catch(err){
res.status(400).send(err);
}
};
This is my function where I want to get the Posts which the user has made :
exports.getByToken = async (req, res, next) => {
const forum = await Forum.findById( {user: req.token._id} );
if (forum) {
res.json(forum);
} else {
res.status(404).json({ message: "Forum not found" });
}
res.json(forum);
}
And this is model which I have for Post:
const forumSchema = ({
forumName: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
forumDescription: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
user: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'user'
},
published_on: {
type: String,
default: moment().format("LLL")
},
});
Everytime I do a request it has this error :
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CastError: Cast to ObjectId failed for value "{ user: 'admin' }" (type Object) at path "_id" for model "Forum"
my generate Token :
const generateToken = (_id, userID) => {
console.log('Signing token for ID ', _id,userID);
console.log('Secret key is ', process.env.JWT_KEY);
const token = jwt.sign({ _id,userID}, process.env.JWT_KEY, {
expiresIn: "30d",
});
console.log('Signed token: ', token);
return token;
};
As you are using findById, you should only send the id as argument function.
If you want to search with filter query, use find method
I want to find each of the elements in the array by their id and send it with the post request to create a new post. Right now when I create a new post only passes the first index of the array and if I use find() it passes all of the social schemas regardless if it is in the body of the request. I hope this makes sense if it doesn't please let me know. I hope someone can help.
Below is the mongoose schema for the qrcode post also using Joi
const Joi = require("joi");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const { themeSchema } = require("./Theme");
const { userSchema } = require("./User");
const { socialSchema } = require("./Social");
const QrCode = mongoose.model(
"QrCode",
new mongoose.Schema({
user: {
type: userSchema,
required: true,
},
name: {
type: String,
maxLength: 255,
required: true,
trim: true,
},
theme: {
type: themeSchema,
required: true,
},
// Social Media Links
social: [
{
type: socialSchema,
required: true,
},
],
})
);
function ValidateQrCode(qrCode) {
const schema = {
userId: Joi.objectId(),
name: Joi.string().max(255).required(),
themeId: Joi.objectId().required(),
socialId: Joi.array().required(),
};
return Joi.validate(qrCode, schema);
}
module.exports.QrCode = QrCode;
module.exports.validate = ValidateQrCode;
this is the post route to create a new qrcode
router.post("/", auth, async (req, res) => {
const { error } = validate(req.body);
if (error) res.status(400).send(error.details[0].message);
const theme = await Theme.findById(req.body.themeId);
if (!theme) return res.status(400).send("Invalid theme.");
const user = await User.findById(req.user._id);
if (!user) return res.status(400).send("Invalid theme.");
const social = await Social.findById(req.body.socialId);
if (!social) return res.status(400).send("Invalid social.");
const qrCode = new QrCode({
user: user,
name: req.body.name,
theme: theme,
social: social,
});
await qrCode.save();
res.send(qrCode);
});
In the body of my Postman request I am inputting the info below
{
"name": "Friends",
"themeId": "60f89e0c659ff827ddcce384",
"socialId": [
"60f89e43659ff827ddcce386",
"60f89e5c659ff827ddcce388"
]
}
To fetch data using ids, you can use below mongodb query simply,
db.collection.find( { _id : { $in : ["1", "2"] } } );
In mongoose,
model.find({
'_id': { $in: [
mongoose.Types.ObjectId('1'),
mongoose.Types.ObjectId('2'),
mongoose.Types.ObjectId('3')
]}
}, function(err, docs){
console.log(docs);
});
Or
await Model.find({ '_id': { $in: ids } });
I have a "Drinkers" model and a "Sodas" model which is "related" - a drinker can have drunk X amount of sodas.
The route to get the data is this
router.get('/all/:drinkerId', sodasController.getAllSodasFromDrinker)
In my sodasController, is there a way to check if :drinkerId exists in the "Drinkers" collection and if not return an error that the drinker doesn't exist, without having to require the drinkersController in the sodasController.
Right now getAllSodasFromDrinker looks like this
const Sodas = require("../models/sodas.model");
exports.getAllSodasFromDrinker = async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const id = req.params.drinkerId;
if (id.match(/^[0-9a-fA-F]{24}$/)) {
await Sodas.find({ drinker: id }).exec((err, drinkerItem) => {
if (err) {
return next(err);
}
res.json({ data: drinkerItem });
});
} else {
return next("ID is in the wrong format");
}
} catch (error) {
return next(error);
}
};
In that function, I want to check if a user exists with the applied ID.
I want to avoid having to
const Drinkers = require("../models/drinkers.model") in the sodasController
The Drinkers model:
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const drinkersSchema = new Schema(
{
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true,
},
sodas: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "Sodas",
},
},
{ timestamps: true }
);
The Sodas model
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const sodaSchema = new Schema(
{
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
drinker: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "Drinkers",
},
},
{ timestamps: true }
);
I would add a middleware function which validates if the drinkerId exists. If it exists, you can continue to the controller. If not, then you should throw a 404 error.
Your route:
router.get(
'/all/:drinkerId',
drinkerMiddleware.exists,
sodasController.getAllSodasFromDrinker
);
drinkerMiddleware:
exports.exists = async (req, res, next) => {
try {
const drinker await Drinker.find({ drinker: req.params.drinkerId }).exec();
if (!drinker) {
return next("Drinker not found.");
}
return next();
} catch (error) {
return next(error);
}
};
