Updating array of objects in mongodb

Question

I\'m trying to update an array of objects in my simple-schema. Currently, it removes everything in the database and leaves behind:

\"careerHistoryPositions\": []

Answer 1

I managed to fix this by mapping over my object and running 2 separate updates. The first removes the old element and the second adds the updated version. I'm sure there is a better way to do this, however, this does seem to work.

handleFormSubmit(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  const { careerHistoryPositions } = this.state;

  ProfileCandidate.update({_id: this.state.profileCandidateCollectionId}, { $unset: {
    'careerHistoryPositions': {}
  }
})        


const updatePosition = this.state.careerHistoryPositions.map((position) => {
  ProfileCandidate.update({_id: this.state.profileCandidateCollectionId}, { $push: {
    'careerHistoryPositions': {
      company: position.company,
      title: position.title,
      uniqueId: position.uniqueId
    }
  }
})
