findOneandUpdate

[Bengeljo]

Hey, I will get straight to the point. I am not the most expierenced coder and I ran into a problem. I need to update my database during special events. Multiple data strings are encrypted. When I call them they get decrytped and displayed correctly and they stay encrypted in the database. Now when I update them and add something to a string, it kinda lays plain on the database.

I already tried to manuelly set the _enc to false but then when I upload the updated data to the database it stays decrypted and the _enc stays falls even tho it should be uploaded with _enc : true but the program doesn't encrypted it for some reason.

Also doing $set I get an error saying "try it with $setField or something. I now put it in the add section of the Update and it works so far yet it stays _enc:false

If I don't put _enc to false I get this TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "iv" argument must be of type string or an instance of ArrayBuffer, Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView.

The error only happens when I add another data string to the already existing one.

Hi @Bengeljo

It is hard to find out what the issue is without looking at your code. Note that this library comes with a lot of tests which might help you in using it correctly, see this test for findOneAndUpdate: https://github.com/wheresvic/mongoose-field-encryption/blob/99d9499e6a52e7d7fd5d9fc2b7f4ad6de296022c/test/test-db.js#L405
