Hello Readers, I am a Node JS developer. And developing a software on Node JS + Mongo DB. I was struggling in a situation where I need to save document in database and need to update documents if it is already present. There was a record like below: { "name":"Dummy", "age":30, "phone":"000000000" } There was a restriction like name is the UNIQUE field. Conditions : If user is going to Insert the record with the same name, then old record should be updated. Solution : Student.update( { name : 'Dummy' }, { name : 'Dummy', age : 35 }, { upsert : true }, callback ); In the above solution, we used {upsert:ture} . So this will save the new record and update if it is already exist. Thanks for reading this article. Kindly share your comments for this solution.

I am writing this article for beginners. Because, at the time of learning node js, this is very confusing where and how we need to use req.query, req.params and req.body . I am going to explain these three req method below. 1.        Req.query 2.        Req.params 3.        Req.body Req.query: When request is coming in key and value pair, for example, if your URL looks like below URL http://localhost:3000/search?name=xyz&age=16 In the above URL, you can see that request is coming in key and value pair . First key is name and value is xyz, second key is age and value is 16. In the node js programing, if you want to parse this url then use req.query. Below is the code snippet to parse this URL. router.get('/search', function(req, res, next) {   var name = req.query.name;   console.log(`Name :  ${name}`)   var age = req.query.age;   ...
