Mongoose, pull from subdocument

Question

This is my document:

{ 
  password: \'87654321\',
  title: \'Organization A\',
  members: 
   [ { tier: 1,
       joinedDate: Sun May 12 2013 00:00:00 GMT+02         


        

Answer 1

It appears that the MongooseArray#pull method only works if your elements have _id properties.

I find it easier to use direct calls to update to avoid these sorts of surprises:

mongoose.model('organization').update(
    {_id: user.organization},
    {$pull: {members: {user: user._id}}},
    function(err, numAffected) { ... }
);

Answer 2

I don't see any id referenced in your members array, remove _id and do it directly to your user property since that's what is on the schema.

mongoose.model('organization').findOne({_id:user.organization}, function(err, org){
      org.members.pull({'user':user._id});
      org.save();
    })

EDIT: maybe this one

mongoose.model('organization').update({ _id: user.organization }, {$pull: 
{members.user: user._id}}, {}, function(err, numAffected){
 //check numAffected

});

try that out!
