Mongoose async/await find then edit and save?
This is what I was looking for:
try { var accounts = await Account.findOneAndUpdate( {"username" : "helllo@hello.com"}, {$set: {"password" : "aaaa"}}, {new : true} ); res.status(200).json(accounts);} catch (error) { handleError(res, error.message);}
or (thanks @JohnnyHK for the find vs findOne tip!):
try { var accounts = await Account.findOne() .where("username").in(["hello@hello.com"]) .exec(); accounts.password = 'asdf'; accounts.save(); res.status(200).json(accounts);} catch (error) { handleError(res, error.message);}
