Here is the array retrieved from the database:
[
{
"_id": "58144e6c0c8d7534f4307269",
"doctor_id": "5813221ace684e2b3f5f0a6d",
"prescription": [
{
"_id": "58144e6c0c8d7534f430726a",
"medicine_id": "10011241343"
}
]
I would like to merge it with a new prescription entry as follows:
[
{
"_id": "58144e6c0c8d7534f4307269",
"doctor_id": "5813221ace684e2b3f5f0a6d",
"prescription": [
{
"_id": "58144e6c0c8d7534f430726a",
"medicine_id": "10011241343"
},
"prescription": [
{
"_id": "58144e6c0c8d7534f430726a", // this should be autogenerated
"medicine_id": "10011241344"
}
]
What is the correct way of achieving this?
I attempted the following approach:
var arr = data.presription
arr=req.body// where req.body contains only medicine id
Followed by:
dbModel.user.findById(data._id, function(err, data) {
data.prescription = arr;
data.save(function(err) {
if (err) {
res.status(202).json({
"success": "0",
});
} else {
res.status(200).json({
"success": "1"
});
}
})
});
However, the result is not as expected. How can I correctly accomplish this task?
Note: When using console.log(arr), only the old data is being displayed.
