i'm trying to find all blogs that a user has created with his userId.
I have the following mongoose model for the blog
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var BlogSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
title:{
type: String,
required: true,
},
content:{
type: String,
required: true
},
_creator:{
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
required: true
}
})
BlogSchema.statics.findBlogs = function(id){
var Blog = this;
return Blog.find(id).then((blog)=>{
console.log(blog)
}).catch((e)=>{
console.log('failed')
})
}
var Blog = mongoose.model('Blogs', BlogSchema)
module.exports = {Blog};
then in my server.js i have this
app.get('/get/blogs', authenticate, (req, res)=>{
var userId = req.user._id
console.log(userId)
Blog.findBlogs(userId).then((data)=>{
res.send(data)
}).catch((e)=>{
res.sendStatus(404)
})
})
but it returns an empty array, how should i approach this?
The line
return Blog.find(id).then((blog) => {
should probably say
return Blog.find({ _creator: id }).then((blogs) => {
Try this
blog.find({creatorid:user.id},function(err,data){
//data will be here
})

I am new to learning web dev using node.js and express.js. When I test my code in Postman the server crashes and gives me this error this.$__.validationError = new ValidationError(this).
I am creating backend server connected to MongoDB and the mongoose package.
Routes
const express = require('express')
const router = express.Router()
const {
create
} = require('./../controllers/courseControllers')
const {verifyAdmin, verify} = require('./../auth')
router.post('/create', verifyAdmin, async (req, res) => {
// console.log(req.body)
try{
create(req.body).then(result => res.send(result))
}catch(err){
res.status(500).json(err)
}
})
Controllers
const Course = require('../models/Course');
//CREATE A COURSE
module.exports.create = async (reqBody) => {
const {courseName, description, price} = reqBody
let newCourse = new Course({
courseName: courseName,
description: description,
price: price
})
// console.log(newCourse)
return await newCourse.save().then((result, err) => result ? result : err)
}
Schema
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const courseSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
courseName: {
type: String,
required: [true, `Course name is required`],
unique: true
},
description: {
type: String,
required: [true, `Course description is required`]
},
price: {
type: Number,
required: [true, `Price is required`]
},
isOffered: {
type: Boolean,
default: true
},
enrollees: [
{
userId: {
type: String,
required: [true, `userId is required`]
},
enrolledOn: {
type: Date,
default: new Date()
}
}
]
}, {timestamps: true})
module.exports = mongoose.model("Course", courseSchema);
Given the information you provided, i can say that you are missing the enrollees parameter on creation whitin the controller, as enrollees has been set to required, i hope its usefull for you, if not let me know.
I've been trying to use the mongoose populate function to connect two models. I can save an object but when trying to retrieve using populate the ObjectIds are just replaced with an empty array.
Many questions seem to have been asked but none have a solution that worked for me
user.js
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var Route = require('./route')
var passportLocalMongoose = require('passport-local-mongoose');
const postSchema = new Schema ({
text: {
type: String,
default: '',
required: true
}
}, {
timestamps: true
});
const UserSchema = new Schema({
firstname: {
type: String
},
posts: [postSchema],
route: [{
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'Route'
}]
}, {
timestamps: true
});
UserSchema.plugin(passportLocalMongoose);
const User = mongoose.model('User', UserSchema);
module.exports = User;
route.js
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const locationSchema = new Schema ({
id: {
type: Number,
default: 0,
required: true
},
address: {
type: String,
default: '',
required: true
},
lat: {
type: Number,
default: 0,
required: true
},
lng: {
type: Number,
default: 0,
required: true
}
},{
timestamps: true })
const routeSchema = new Schema ({
locations: [locationSchema],
description: {
journey1: {
type: String,
default: '',
required: false
},
journey2: {
type: String,
default: '',
required: false
},
journey3: {
type: String,
default: '',
required: false
},
journey4: {
type: String,
default: '',
required: false
}
}
}, {
timestamps: true
});
module.exports = mongoose.model('Route', routeSchema);
within REST POST end point
User.findOne({_id: req.user._id}, function(err,user) {
if(user) {
var routed = new Route();
routed.locations = req.body.locations;
routed.description = req.body.description;
user.route.push(routed);
user.save()
.then((user) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
res.json(user)
}, (err) => next(err))
} else {
console.log("errored")
err = new Error('User ' + req.body.username + ' not found');
err.status = 404;
return next(err);
}
})
within REST GET end point
User.findOne({_id: req.user._id})
.populate('route')
.then((user) => {
if(user){
console.log("user")
console.log(user)
console.log("routes")
console.log(user.route)
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json')
res.json({success: true, routes: user.route});
}
}, (err) => next(err))
.catch((err) => next(err));
If I remove populate I'll get something like
[
new ObjectId("61f053af7ba46267f4893f8f")
new ObjectId("61f053af7ba46267f4893f8f")
new ObjectId("61f053af7ba46267f4893f8f")
]
from the GET end point but adding it back in returns
[].
My understanding is that in 'new Route()' I'm creating a new Route Object with an Id that gets stored in the User model/document(?). Then when I call populate mongoose searches the Route document for those Ids and converts them to the objects I want. The only issue I could think of is that I'm not creating the Route objects correctly and so no object is being stored with that Id which is why an empty array is returned when I come to try swap Ids with Route objects.
Any ideas or are we all just stumbling in the dark ?
Not entirely sure this is the correct method but instead of instantiating a Route object as displayed I used the Route.create(...) method and then pushed that to the route array and now populate works as expected
Username doesn't get updated after running this. I also tried UpdateOne and it didn't work as well. The code was supposed to update an array but I tried updating the username to make it easier to track down the problem.
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const schema = mongoose.Schema;
const userSchema = new schema({
Username:{
type: String,
required: true
},
Password:{
type: String,
required: true
},
Cart: Array
});
const User = mongoose.model('User', userSchema);
module.exports = User;
.
app.post('/putbox', (req, res) => {
var query = { Username: user };
var newvalues = { $push: { Cart: "Boxing" } };
try{
User.find(query).then((d)=>{
var values = d[0].Cart;
values.push("boxing")
User.findByIdAndUpdate(d._id, {Username: "test1"})
});
} catch(err) {
console.log(err);
}
res.redirect('/boxing');
});
I believe the syntax is not correct. The first element of updateOne searches for matches to update. You are just passing d._id which is not the same as the _id key in your db structure. Try this one
User.updateOne({ _id: d._id }, {Username: "test1"})
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 } });
const UniversitySchema = new Schema({
university_name: {
type:String,
},
status: {
type: String
}
});
const CollageSchema = new Schema({
collage_name: {
type:String,
required: [true,'Name field is required']
},
university_id: {
type: [{ type: Schema.Types.ObjectId ,
ref: 'university' }]
},
type: {
type:String
}
});
router.delete('/university/:id',function(req,res,next){
University.findByIdAndRemove({_id:req.params.id}).then(function(detail){
res.send(detail);
});
});
I have referenced _id of UniversitySchema in CollageSchema and if I delete any university corresponding collage should be deleted. How to do this?
With an additional mongo call on collages collection, using Promise.all() :
router.delete('/university/:id',function(req,res,next){
const ObjectId = require('mongodb').ObjectId;
const _id = ObjectId(req.params.id);
const removeUniversity = University.findByIdAndRemove({ _id: _id });
const removeCollage = Collage.remove({ university_id: _id });
Promise
.all([removeUniversity, removeCollage])
.then(function(values) {
const detail = values[0];
res.send(detail);
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
});
