New to Node.js/Express and trying to combine two objects to save them to a collection. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your time.
This is what I've put together, but it's not functioning as expected:
app.post('/:collection', function(req, res) {
var object = req.body;
var collection = req.params.collection;
geocoder.geocode(req.body.address.street + req.body.address.no + req.body.address.zip + req.body.address.city, function(req, res) {
var gpslocation = ({"loc": [res[0].longitude, res[0].latitude]});
mergedObject = JSON.parse((JSON.stringify(object) + JSON.stringify(gpslocation)).replace(/}{/g,","))
console.log(mergedObject);
});
collectionDriver.save(collection, object, function(error,docs) {
if (error) { res.send(400, error); }
else { res.send(201, docs);} //B
});
});
Console log shows the correct output, however, saving with longitude/latitude appended isn't working as expected:
{ cat: 'Electrician6',
name: { first: 'John', last: 'Pipe', picture_ID: '23872' },
created_at: '2015-05-16T14:05:23.431Z',
_id: '55574ea3435c2d9c24d21572',
loc: [ 4.7261822, 50.9635574 ] }
When attempting to fix it:
app.post('/:collection', function(req, res) { //A
var object = req.body;
var collection = req.params.collection;
geocoder.geocode(req.body.address.street + req.body.address.no + req.body.address.zip + req.body.address.city, function(req, res) {
var gpslocation = ({"loc": [res[0].longitude, res[0].latitude]});
mergedObject = JSON.parse((JSON.stringify(object) + JSON.stringify(gpslocation)).replace(/}{/g,","))
console.log(mergedObject);
});
collectionDriver.save(collection, mergedObject, function(error,docs) {
if (error) { res.send(400, error); }
else { res.send(201, docs);} //B
});
});
Results in an error:
