mongojs - mongodb update and/or change an array key without using the value -
i'm having trouble removing/renaming array object mongodb.
{ "_id" : objectid("556a7e1b7f0a6a8f27e01b8a"), "accountid" : "ac654164545", "sites" :[ { "site_id" : "example1.com" }, { "002" : "example2.com" }, { "003" : "example3.com" }, { "004" : "example4.com" }, { "005" : "example5.com" }, { "006" : "example6.com" } ]} }
please take notice of array key "site_id", want change "001" either removing , appending it, know how do, or rename it.
i've tried:
db.accounts.update({'id':objectid("556a7e1b7f0a6a8f27e01b8a")}, {$unset: {sites.site_id}})
but says "unexpected token". tried:
db.accounts.update({'id':objectid("556a7e1b7f0a6a8f27e01b8a")}, {$unset: {sites:site_id}})
that says "site_id not defined"
then tried:
db.accounts.update({'id':objectid("556a7e1b7f0a6a8f27e01b8a")}, {$unset: {sites:'site_id'}})
that says writeresult({ "nmatched" : 0, "nupserted" : 0, "nmodified" : 0 })
i tried $rename
command:
db.accounts.update( { _id:objectid("556a7e1b7f0a6a8f27e01b8a") }, { $rename: { "sites.site_id": "sites.001" } } )
but gave me "cannot use part (sites of sites.site_id) traverse element"
one option use .find()
, iterate through , delete
it. save undeleted ones object, , run .insert()
command, want stay away if have too.
this site talks dynamic renaming: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/operator/update/positional/
aka first make matching query , use $
match index in array.
here's query that'll accomplish want test data provided:
db.accounts.update({'accountid':"ac654164545", "sites.site_id": "example1.com"}, {$set: {"sites.$": {'001': 'example1.com'}}})
