If you are working with Mongoose, maybe noticed that the update’s callback is not returning the post-update object. Didn’t you noticed it? Let’s see how to return the updated document on Mongoose.
Return the updated document on Mongoose
By default, Mongoose don’t return the post-update document. But, there is an option to force it.
Using any find & update function like findByIdAndUpdate(), findAndUpdate() or findOneAndUpdate() just add the third param with new: true.
Example
var query = { id: 8 };
var update = { title: "new title" };
var options = { new: true };
MyModel.findOneAndUpdate(query, update, options, function(err, doc){
// Done!
// doc.title = "new title"
});
Note the third parameter with new: true, it produces that doc on callback function it’s the post-update document.
Feel free to leave your doubt, problem or experience 😀
