Mongodb findAndModify node js


The syntax is different in the node driver than for the shell, which is the syntax you are using.

db.collection("collection_name").findAndModify(    { _id: _id },     // query    [],               // represents a sort order if multiple matches    { $set: data },   // update statement    { new: true },    // options - new to return the modified document    function(err,doc) {    });

There is a separate function for .findAndRemove()


As the documentation for the remove parameter of the findAndModify function states:

remove: <boolean>:
Must specify either the remove or the update field. Removes the document specified in the query field. Set this to true to remove the selected document . The default is false.

The default value is false so you don't have to provide it at all.

I believe the issue is that you are supplying both update and remove parameters. Try removing the remove parameter.
