I'm adding ObjectId to an array from another array that I receive as the body.
exports.updateBasket = function (req, res) {
Basket.findOne({ _id: req.params.id }, function (err, basket) {
for(var i=0, len=req.body.length; i < len; i++) {
basket.update({$addToSet: { "items": req.body[i] } }, { upsert: true, safe: true });
}
if (err) {
res.send(err);
}
else {
res.json({ message: 'Successfully added' });
}
});
};
I have 2 questions concerning this :
- Is there any upside to do the loop in angular and have multiple PUT?
- What is the way to update this same array but when removing ObjectId?
One way that I thought of was to loop ObjectId that have to be removed and look if they are in the array of the object, if yes, delete them.
Another way would be to clear the array when PUT is called and update with the new ObjectId list (which would be the ones that were there minus the one user removed).
Both doesn't feel right ...
thanks
