Can you re-use an existing exec mongodb/mongoose query in nodejs?
For example, let's say I create a query like this to check if a user exists:
const inviter = await User.findOne({ _id: req.userData._id }).exec()
// There is more code below before updating the user data
Basically, if I want to update the data, I have to write the same code again and add an update function like this:
User.findOneAndUpdate({ _id: req.userData._id }, { $push: { invited: recipient.value } }, { useFindAndModify: false })
Is it possible to continue the first query and add a short query to update based on the result of the first query, for example like this:
inviter.update({ $push: { invited: recipient.value }).exec()
I understand that this code may not work as intended...
