我使用Node.js和Mongoose来存储一些数据。更新后,我有以下结构:
{ created: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:25:57 GMT,
_id: 4f21a6028132fba40f0000b7,
features:
{ imdb_id: 'tt0822975',
released: '2007-03-24',
tvdb_id: 103191,
type: 'series',
names: [ 'DinoSapien' ],
pictures: [],
cast: [],
genres: [ 'Action and Adventure', 'Children' ] },
type: 1 }
我需要删除,例如本文档中的cast
和pictures
字段。但是,我已经应用了一个解决方案来从数据库中删除空数组,但它不起作用:
instance = (an instance from calling findOne on my model)
cast = (an array)
if ( cast && cast.length > 0){
instance.features.cast = cast;
} else {
delete instance.features.cast;
}
console.log(cast); // null
console.log(instance), // cast is not removed!
保存到db时,是否可以从模型中删除空数组或不需要的值?
答案 0 :(得分:9)
您可以使用预保存挂钩检查这些空字段,并将其设置为undefined
,如下所示:
PostSchema.pre('save', function (next) {
if(this.pictures.length == 0){
this.pictures = undefined;
}
if(this.cast.length == 0){
this.cast = undefined;
}
next();
});
我在本地进行了测试,似乎做得很好。
