update nested schema express
I tried both of your ideas, but unfortunately those are not worked. I found a solution, maybe it is not elegant, but works:I changed my schema to:
var placeSchema = new Schema({ _id: String, zip: Number, loc: { type: Object , index: '2dsphere' }});And my new code is:
if (typeof req.body.coordinates !== 'undefined') { place.loc = { type: 'Point', coordinates: req.body.coordinates }; }
You need to tell Mongoose what the coordinates array contains if you want it to track changes for you. So change you schema definition to:
var placeSchema = new Schema({ _id: String, zip: Number, loc: { type: { type: String }, coordinates: [Number] }});The alternative would be to explicitly mark coordinates as changed:
place.coordinates = req.body.coordinates;place.markModified('coordinates');
