You can also do the update directly in MongoDB without having to load the document and modify it using code. Use the $pull
or $pullAll
operators to remove the item from the array :
Favorite.updateOne({ cn: req.params.name }, {
$pullAll: {
favorites: req.params.deleteUid,
},
});
To remove objects from array then
Favorite.updateOne({ cn: req.params.name }, {
$pullAll: {
favorites: [{_id: req.params.deleteUid}],
},
});
(you can also use updateMany for multiple documents)
