SaveOrUpdate method in Mongoose with Node JS

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.
