here is profile schema looks like
const ProfileSchema = new mongoose.Schema({

module.exports = Profile = mongoose.model('profile',ProfileSchema)

your code logic has problem.
let profile = await Profile.findOne({ user: req.user.id }); if (profile) //update profile = await Profile.findOneAndUpdate( { user: req.user.id }, { $set: profileFields }, { new: true } ); return res.json(profile);
here, if you can't find the record in database, you still return and there is no value so that you got null response. i suggest you remoe the return res.json(profile); into if statement

Back to the basics, the if statement.
if (profile){
//update
profile = await Profile.findOneAndUpdate(
{ user: req.user.id },
{ $set: profileFields },
{ new: true }
);
return res.json(profile);
}
You need to use brackets {}.
In your code, return res.json(profile); gets fired no matter if the response is null or not

the problem is with your syntax you need to add curly braces
if (profile){
//update
profile = await Profile.findOneAndUpdate(
{ user: req.user.id },
{ $set: profileFields },
{ new: true }
)};

Push To Mongoose Subdocuments

Hello I am creating a series of groupings describing the roles certain users are taking within the context of helping a client. The object in the Prospect model is called caseworkers. In caseworkers is a series of arrays for the different types of roles done. The equation is to allow the user to push his info as a subdocument called CaseWorker. Basically creating an object with 6 arrays that users can push to. Ive tried a few things and settled on Subdocuments. Any help would be awesome.
Here is my code:
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const CaseWorker = require("./CaseWorker");
const ProspectSchema = mongoose.Schema({
caseWorkers: {
originators: [CaseWorker.schema],
loanProcessors: [CaseWorker.schema],
documentProcessors: [CaseWorker.schema],
upsells: [CaseWorker.schema],
primaryReso: [CaseWorker.schema],
taxPreparers: [CaseWorker.schema],
secondaryReso: [CaseWorker.schema],
}
module.exports = mongoose.model("prospect", ProspectSchema);
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const CaseWorkerSchema = new Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true,
},
role: { type: String },
resoCred1: { type: String },
resoCred2: { type: String },
reminders: [
{
_id: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "User" },
userReminded: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId },
reminderDate: { type: Date },
reminderDueDate: { type: Date },
status: { type: String },
daysTilDue: { type: Number },
id: { type: String },
text: { type: String },
clientId: { type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId, ref: "Prospect" },
},
],
});
module.exports = mongoose.model("caseWorker", CaseWorkerSchema);
router.put("/:_id/caseWorkers/loanProcessors", auth, async (req, res) => {
const prospect = await Prospect.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params._id, {
"$push": {
"loanProcessors": {
"caseWorker": {
"name": req.body.name,
"email": req.body.email,
"role": req.body.role,
"resoCred1": req.body.resoCred1,
"resoCred2": req.body.resoCred2,
},
},
},
});
res.json(prospect);
console.log(prospect);
});

In your approach when updating the document you put caseWorker under loanProcessors but it's declared in the schema the other way around.
To update a nested object you have to use the dot notation to reference the field.
Don't forget to put the object key that represent the field as a string like this "caseWorkers.loanProcessors", because caseWorkers.loanProcessors is an invalid object key in javascript
"$push": {
"caseWorkers.loanProcessors": {
"name": req.body.name,
"email": req.body.email,
"role": req.body.role,
"resoCred1": req.body.resoCred1,
"resoCred2": req.body.resoCred2,
},
},

Try to populate in mongoose and it doesn't work (nodejs)

i Make mini cart with Product and user Auth, Evereting work perfect but whan i try to make a route that pickup all the product from the user and view them in specific page and it not work for me.
it returns the user but not the product.
UserSchema
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Schema = mongoose.Schema;
const UserSchema = new Schema({
product: {
type: [mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId],
ref: "product"
},
name: {
type: String,
required: true
},
email: {
type: String,
required: true,
unique: true
},
address: {
type: String,
required: true
},
password: {
type: String,
required: true
},
data: {
type: Date,
default: Date.now
}
});
module.exports = User = mongoose.model("user", UserSchema);
ProductScheama
const mongoose=require('mongoose');
const ProductSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name:{
type:String,
required:true,
unique:true
},
description:{
type:String,
},
price:{
type:Number,
required:true
},
quantity:{
type:Number,
required:true
},
data:{
type:Date,
default:Date.now
}
})
module.exports=Product=mongoose.model('product',ProductSchema)
I am trying to create a function that gives me the name, price and description of the product and it fails.
my router:
router.get("/products/:id", auth, async (req, res) => {
try {
let pro = await User.find({ product: req.params.id }).populate("product", [
"name",
"price",
"description"
]);
if (!pro) {
return res.json({ msg: "This user not have products to show" });
}
res.json(pro);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err.message);
res.status(500).send("Server errors");
}
});
result from Postman:
[
{
"product": [],
"_id": "5d5bfb96963ca600ec412bca",
"name": "Anonny Annon",
"email": "Annony#gmail.com",
"address": "Israel",
"password": "$2a$10$gESTIaBVifzhRDR2zOKsw.Q79gCT07IK2VnDoyT2oU5htqfBuAj8W",
"data": "2019-08-20T13:54:30.267Z",
"__v": 0
}
]

I think product should be defined this way :
product: [{
type: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: "product"
}]
instead of type: [mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId]

Mongoose node return multiple arrays of referenced objects from document

I am working on a node backend API with mongoose. I have 2 schemas one User schema and one Follow schema(saved as users and follows in mongo). The follow schema fields followers and following hold an array of ObjectIds that refer to User objects. I am trying to return the Referenced objects in in the arrays so that I can respond with an object to the client that contains an array of userFollowing and userFollowers containing user objects, a but I am unable to populate the output.
I will also need to be able to filter the returned objects to only return 'username bio image email first_name surname join_date'.
My current incorrect output is below. I am not sure if its an error in my query or if I am using the correct approach.
[ { _id: 5c7dc1b92f3f1dd8ad9df993,
user: 5c7d93b57a29ce05a096c492,
userFollowing: [],
userFollowers: [] } ]
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
let Schema = mongoose.Schema;
var FollowSchema = new Schema({
user: {
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'User'
},
followers: [{
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,
ref: 'User'
}],
following: [{
type: Schema.Types.ObjectId,

}, { toJSON: { virtuals: true } }
);
module.exports = mongoose.model('Follow', FollowSchema);
// username must be unique and is required
var UserSchema = new mongoose.Schema({

node.js api with array's

I'm pretty new to node.js and javascript. I'm builded and api and out of the sudden the data model changed and now i'm kinda lost.
This is my code:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
//create schema
var MedicSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
nombre:{
type: String,
required: true
},
especialidad:{
type: String,
required: true
},
ranking:{
type: Number,
},
direccion: [{
direccion: {type: String, required: true},
telefono: {type: String},
horario:{type: String}
}],
foto:{
type: String,
}
});
MedicSchema.find({})
.populate('direccion')
.exec(function (err, medic) {
console.log(medic.direccion); // This should have your information now
});
//export model
module.exports = MedicSchema;
I'm able to send data to the direccion array... but when i call the api; i get this:
{
"_id": "557839b36bcdd00e09173e36",
"nombre": "Sra. Hong",
"especialidad": "general",
"__v": 0,
"direccion": [
{
"_id": "55a44392b2e774572b957a8e"
},
{
"_id": "55a44392b2e774572b957a8d"
}
]
}
i can't find a way to call the details of the array.
edit: i posted it on bitbucket https://bitbucket.org/weput/api-server

You need to .populate your "direccion" array. For example:
MedicSchema.find({})
.populate('direccion')
.exec(function (err, medic) {
console.log(medic.direccion); // This should have your information now
});
