My array in my MongoDB is not being structured the way I want it to be. I
am using node.js, Express, and Mongoose.
.
Here is my schema:
var fruitSchema = new schema ({
fruitName: {type: String},
priceArray: {type: Array}
});
Here is part of the code that pushes new priceArray items:
Fruit.findOneAndUpdate({fruitName: req.body.fruitName},
{
$push: {
priceArray: {
price: req.body.price,
description: req.body.description
}
}
}
And here is the form:
<form method="POST" action="/fruit">
<div class='form-group'>
<label for="fruitName">Fruit Name</label>
<input type="text" name="fruitName" id="fruitName"/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="price0">Price</label>
<input type="text" name="price[0]" id="price0"/>
<label for="description0">Description</label>
<input type="text" name="description[0]" id="description0"/>
</div>
<div>
<label for="price1">Price</label>
<input type="text" name="price[1]" id="price1"/>
<label for="description1">Description</label>
<input type="text" name="description[1]" id="description1"/>
</div>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
So what's all this saying? Basically, a user can enter a name of a fruit,
and then they would enter the **price** of the fruit, and give a
**description**. So the **'price'** and **'description'** pieces are always
together. The form allows for multiple inputs of price/description pairs
(the example form I've posted here allows for 2 pairs, but the real form
allows for unlimited pairs).
In my MongoDB, this is how the above code inserts the form data:
{
"fruitName" : "test fruit",
"priceArray" : [
{
"price" : [
"$2.00",
"$3.00"
],
"description" : [
"Good",
"Bad"
]
}
Here is how I **want** it to look like:
{
"fruitName" : "test fruit",
"priceArray" : [
{
"price" : "$2.00"
"description: "Good"
}
{
"price" : "$3.00"
"description" : "Bad"
}
]
}
How can I fix this?
