Update And Return Document In Mongodb

by

collection.update() will only report the number of documents that were affected to its own callback.

To retrieve the documents while modifying, you can use collection.findOneAndUpdate() instead (formerly .findAndModify()).

collection.findOneAndUpdate(
    { "code": req.body.code },
    { $set: req.body.updatedFields },
    { returnOriginal: false },
    function (err, documents) {
        res.send({ error: err, affected: documents });
        db.close();
    }
);

The returnOriginal option (or new with Mongoose) lets you specify which version of a found document (original [default] or updated) is passed to the callback.

returnOriginal was deprecated in version 3.6. Use returnDocument: "before" | "after" for version 3.6 and later.

Disclaimer: This answer currently refers to the Node.js Driver as of version 3.6. As new versions are released, check their documentation for possibly new deprecation warnings and recommended alternatives.
