mongoose update attribute code example

Example 1: mongoose save or update

// This will create another document if it doesn't exist
findByIdAndUpdate(_id, { something: 'updated' }, { upsert: true });

Example 2: mongoose update subdocument by id

//this method for add data to subdocument
BlogPost.findById(req.params.postId, function (err, post) {
    var subDoc = post.comments.id(req.params.commentId);
    subDoc = req.body;
    post.save(function (err) {
        if (err) return res.status(500).send(err);
        res.send(post);
    });
});

// alternative second method you can use this
BlogPost.findOneAndUpdate({_id: req.params.postId}, {$push:{ subDoc: req.body }}, (err, doc) => {
  	// do something here
});
