Passing array of objects to MongoDB
Hi,
I have an Array of Objects with size of 81. It is as below
Array.length = 81 [1] Object {val: 1, candidates: Array[9]}
Like this I have 81 Objects. I am trying to pass this Array from EJS file hidden field to mongoose schema, but when I am trying to save this array it is getting saved as String in MongoDB, something like this "[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]............"
So I cannot evaluate this while I want to retrieve this data. Mongoose Schema is as below
var tbl_GameData = new mongoose.Schema({
//id: {type: Number},
LevelID : {type: Number},
Data : {type: Array}
});
and saving from ejs file is like as below
app.post('/saveGame', function(req, res) {
var gameData = new database.GameData({
LevelID : 1,
Data : req.body.gameData
});
gameData.save(function(err) {
if(err){
console.log(err);
}
req.login(gameData, function(err){
if(err){
req.redirect('/login');
}
else {
res.render('startGame',{ user: req.user ,title:"Sudoku Online Match"});
}
});
});
});
I dont know how to save this in DB so that I can retrieve it back as an array. Can you please help!
