Update multiple documents by providing documents in body, mongoose/mongodb

Question

I need to update several documents by providing them in the body. I can\'t query them, they must be provided.

Example:

 var persons = [
    {id: 1, name         


        

Answer 1

Try using the update command along with the "$in" operator:

var ids= [];
for (var i=0 i<input.body.length; ++i) {
    ids.push(input.body[i].id);
}

mongoose.model('person').update( {id : {"$in":ids}}, {active:false} , {multi: true} , function(err,docs) { ... });

Hope this helps
