Mongoose validation error but I put documents correctly

Question

Please take a look at my code. I am having a validation error but I am quite sure that I put my documents on the correct format.

MY MODEL

Answer 1

You are doing mistake while creating a neworder. Look at the contents of req.body and look what you are passing to the orders object.

Try this:

var orderItem = new Orders();
orderItem.userPurchased=body.userId;
//for each products item, push it to orderItem.products
body.products.forEach(function(product,index)
{
    orderItem.products.push({
        product: product.product,
        size: product.size,
        quantity: product.quantity,
        subTotal: product.subTotal
    }); 
});
orderItem.totalQuantity=body.totalQuantity;
orderItem.totalPrice=body.totalPrice;
orderItem.otherShipAd=body.customAdd;
orderItem.modeOfPayment=body.modeOfPayment;

Orders.save(function (err, result) {
    if (err) throw err;
});

You seem to have asked the same question about the array in a separate post - you should avoid duplicating your questions.

The answer is shorter -> you have no need of processing your req.body as it matches the required schema of your model. This should work fine:

ordersRouter.route('/placeOrder')
    .post(function (req, res) {

        Orders.create(req.body, function (err, result) {
            if (err) throw err;

            // send success message back
        });
    });
