findOneAndUpdate increment instead of update in mongoose

You can set the value dynamic and pass it in the query

function update_total_credit(total_amount, topup_value) {
//The flag value means your breakpoint where you decide which value should go in query, you can change on your requirement basis
  var flag = 1;//increament by 1 every time
  if (!flag)
    flag = -1;//decreament by 1 every time
  User.findOneAndUpdate({
      email: user_email
    }, {
      $inc: {
        credit: flag
      }
    },
    function(err, response) {
      if (err) {
        res.json(0);
      } else {
        res.json(response.credit);
      }
    });
}

See the reference here for $inc

Use $inc to increment particular field following way

update:

db.getCollection('noti').findOneAndUpdate(
   { _id: ObjectId("5bc061f05a4c0511a9252e88") }, 
   { 
      $inc: { count: 1 } 
   }, {new: true })

result:

{
    "_id" : ObjectId("5bc061f05a4c0511a9252e88"),
    "count" : 8.0,
    "color" : "green",
    "icon" : "circle",
    "name" : "online visitor",
    "read" : false,
    "date" : ISODate("2018-10-12T08:57:20.853Z"),
    "__v" : 0.0,
    "views" : 1.0
}

Here, the count is incremented by 1 and before it was 7.
