javascript - Mongodb findAndModify node js

Question

Following code gives me an exception in node js saying: "need to remove or update"

var args = {
    query: { _id: _id },
    update: { $set: data },
    new: true,
    remove: false
};

db.collection(COLLECTION.INVENTORY_LOCATION)
    .findAndModify(args, function (err, results) {
        if (err) {
            return callback(err);
        } else {
            console.log(results);
            callback(null, results);
        }
    });

Not able to figure out the issue as I have specified the update operation.

Answer 1

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()
