To modify the value of an existing object in a MongoDB array, you can use the update
method along with the $set
operator to update specific fields within the object:
db.collection.update(
{ _id: ObjectId('12345') },
{ $set: { 'array.$.field': 'new value' } }
);
In the above example, collection
is the name of the MongoDB collection, _id
is the identifier of the document that contains the array, 12345
is the value of the _id
field, array
is the name of the field that contains the array, field
is the name of the field within each object that represents the value you want to modify, and new value
is the updated value.
To add a new object to the array, you can use the update
method along with the $push
operator:
db.collection.update(
{ _id: ObjectId('12345') },
{ $push: { array: { field1: 'value1', field2: 'value2' } } }
);
In this example, array
is the name of the field that contains the array, and the new object { field1: 'value1', field2: 'value2' }
is added to the end of the array.
