Incorporated Google authentication into my NextJS application. The process involves the user making progress within the web app, which is stored in local storage as an array. If the user decides to register, I receive the session back and then send a PUT request to update the document in the database by adding a new field (array) from local storage.
I have successfully implemented a GET request that retrieves user data based on their email. Now, I am facing the question of how to insert a new field using the PUT method. In this scenario, the field is an array called "progress" and I am unsure whether to use the "update" method.
Below is an example record from my MongoDB:
_id: 63cc85641624a77f17ca5f29
name: "John P"
email: "<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="563c393e38782616313b373f3a7835393b">[email protected]</a>"
image: "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/AEdFTp7xzF4eYtyhTgRxmgP4vYdCqDa6zW…"
emailVerified: null
The goal is to add a new field: progress: ['some data']
Here is the PUT request I am working with:
case 'PUT':
const updateData = await fetch(`${baseUrl}/updateOne`, {
...fetchOptions,
body: JSON.stringify({
...fetchBody,
filter: { email: email },
update: {} <---------------!!!!!
}),
})
const updateDataJson = await updateData.json()
res.status(200).json(updateDataJson.documents)
break
