I have a document that looks like
{
_id: ObjectId("someId"),
recipients: [
{
email: "emailaddress"
},
{
email: "email2"
}
]
}
I am trying to update the first recipient object, and add another property but to no avail.
{
_id: ObjectId("someId"),
recipients: [
{
email: "emailaddress",
new_prop: "something"
}
]
}
Is there a way to do this with findOneAndUpdate? I am using PHP
I did some research. I'm new to MongoDB so I'm relying on my fellow developers to validate this code. I'm thinking this will do the trick:
$mongoID = new MongoID('yourID');
$newdata = array('$set' => array("recipients.0.new_prop" => "Something"));
$collection->update(array("_id" => $mongoID), $newdata);
