How do I update only certain keys of existing objects in Mongodb?

So this is my case:
In my angular 8 application i create invoices. this is an invoice object:
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "5ea9ad58f65d8d49841362bd"
},
"details": [
{
"_id": "5ea1eff27a1fcb29c4e7d1b6",
"Client": "test",
"km": 88,
"Subject": "test",
"Location": "test",
"StartTime": "2020-04-27T09:00:00.000Z",
"EndTime": "2020-04-27T17:00:00.000Z",
"IsAllDay": false,
"StartTimezone": null,
"EndTimezone": null,
"Description": "oekfokef",
"RecurrenceRule": "FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=5;",
"Id": 2,
"CreatedBy": "bob"
},
{
"_id": "5ea1f36297a9a315bc8ed078",
"Client": "test",
"km": 88,
"Subject": "ewfwefwe",
"Location": "fwefwefwefewfwefwef",
"StartTime": "2020-04-20T09:00:00.000Z",
"EndTime": "2020-04-20T17:00:00.000Z",
"IsAllDay": false,
"StartTimezone": null,
"EndTimezone": null,
"Description": "wefwefewfwef",
"RecurrenceRule": "FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=5;",
"Id": 3,
"CreatedBy": "bob"
},
{
"_id": "5ea1f38d97a9a315bc8ed083",
"Client": "test2",
"km": 38,
"Subject": "test",
"Location": "test",
"StartTime": "2020-05-04T09:00:00.000Z",
"EndTime": "2020-05-04T16:00:00.000Z",
"IsAllDay": false,
"StartTimezone": null,
"EndTimezone": null,
"Description": "test",
"RecurrenceRule": "FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;COUNT=5;",
"Id": 4,
"CreatedBy": "bob"
}
],
"client": "Robin",
"hoursWorked": 75,
"kmsTravelled": 880,
"invoiceDate": "2020-04-29T16:37:44.948Z",
"paid": "false",
"subTotal": 3917.2,
"travelexpenses": 167.2,
"tax": 879.7,
"hoursCosts": 3750,
"total": 4796.9,
"createdBy": "bob",
"__v": 0
}
But during the use of the application, certain properties change value, like hoursWorked, total, kmTravelled, hourCosts and details. The updated objects get printed to the console. So whenever the user opens the component, i want it to post the whole object, but if an invoice with that Client name alread exists , only update those properties of each invoice per client.
the updated object is this.invoice:
this.invoice = {
client: element.Client,
hourCosts: (element.difference)*this.Client.price,
hoursWorked: (element.difference),
kmsTravelled: element.km,
travelexpenses: this.Client.kmPrice* element.km,
subTotal: (this.Client.kmPrice* element.km) + ((element.difference)*this.Client.price),
total: ((this.Client.kmPrice* element.km) + ((element.difference)*this.Client.price)) + ((this.Client.kmPrice* element.km)+((element.difference)*this.Client.price) * this.tax/100),
createdBy: this.userName,
details: this.details
}
So how do I go about this? Sorry for a quite vague question, but i stuck with this quite a while now. If you need more info please let me know

You could query by 'id' to search for specific values that have changed with something like: db.getCollection('hourCosts').find({_id:'5ea9ad58f65d8d49841362bd'})
Searching in a collection by id with .find() will be efficient. There's a really helpful mongoose doc page here.
Also, just clarifying, you're posting the full customer schema if the name is unique, otherwise updating the relevant invoices by 'client', is that correct? The doc page linked should be useful for most query types and you can create additional mongoose schemas for some added granularity in what content you change.

you can use mongoDB $set in the update command, example:
db.city.update({_id:ObjectId("584a13d5b65761be678d4dd4")}, {$set: {"citiName":"Jakarta Pusat"}})
make sure you are passing the _id as ObjectId

MongoDB aggregate function is not returning the value of collection joined using JavaScript

I needed assistance in order to work out why the aggregate function is not responding the way I'd expect it to respond. This is a RESTful API service I've designed in which I am trying to connect collections with each other. Please note the following:
Collection: Season
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "5c0fc60bfb6fc04dd6ea4e9a"
},
"Season": "1",
"TotalEpisode": "15",
"Name": null,
"Description": "First season with no name for this drama",
"PlayID": "5c0fc4aafb6fc04dd6ea4d81"
}
Collection: Play
{
"_id": {
"$oid": "5c0fc4aafb6fc04dd6ea4d81"
},
"Name": "It was the first time",
"Description": "One of the best action heros in the entertainment industry until this day",
"ReleaseDate": "24/12/2010",
"EndingDate": "12/08/2012",
"Category": "Drama"
}
My implemented code in JavaScript
function getTestLookUp(db, collectionName, response, secondCollectionName){
console.log('First collection name: ' + collectionName + '\n' + 'Second collection name: ' + secondCollectionName);
db.collection(collectionName).aggregate([
{
$lookup:
{
from: secondCollectionName,
localField: 'PlayID',
foreignField: '_id',
as: 'requestedDetails'
}
}
]).toArray((err, res) => {
if(err){
console.log(err);
} else {
console.log(res);
response.status(200).json({
'Items': res
});
}
});
}
The response
{
"Items": [
{
"_id": "5c0fc60bfb6fc04dd6ea4e9a",
"Season": "1",
"TotalEpisode": "15",
"Name": null,
"Description": "First season with no name for this drama",
"PlayID": "5c0fc4aafb6fc04dd6ea4d81",
"requestedDetails": []
}
]
}
The things I've checked so far: the collection names are accurate, the ID is also accurate as I can search it up on the MLabs search feature. I don't understand as to why this is returning a empty 'requestedDetails' as I hoped it would return the item from the Play collection.
In addition to this, I would also appreciate if someone can point out how I can join multiple collections instead of 2.
I welcome any questions regarding this problem.

While still researching for this issue, I accidentally came across a another problem in which someone wrote a comment stating that "you might be comparing a String with ObjectID". This was the cause for this error as I obtain a String variable in return from the database and I am comparing the String variable with the _id which is expecting to see a ObjectID variable to complete the query. Therefore, meaning that my query/lookup is never matching these two variables.
The only way tackle this issue is to do a conversion (string to ObjectID) and then compare the values. However, since I'm using the version of ^3.1.10 of MongoDB, this functionality is not possible. Will need to update the version to 4.0 to be able to implement this functionality.
In order to rectify this issue, I managed to surround the foreign ID within $iod tags.

couchdb with multiple linked documents in one doc

As a complete newbie to the concept of NoSQL it is giving me a hard time figuring out how to achieve something like a join with multiple linked documents.
I got a Data-Structure for a Congress in a CouchDB which is replicated to a PouchDB on a Client like:
Sessions:
"_id": "1",
"type": "session",
"Title": "Title of Session",
}
Persons:
"_id": "2",
"type": "Person",
"mail": "mail#mail.com",
"Names": {
"FirstName": "Horst",
"LastName": "Muller"
}
"_id": "3",
"type": "Person",
"mail": "mail2#mail.com",
"Names": {
"FirstName": "Mark",
"LastName": "Webber"
}
Talks:
"_id": "4",
"type": "presentation",
"Sessions": [
"1"
],
"PresentationTitle": "Title of Talk",
"files": [
{
"Filename": "presentationfile.pptx",
}
],
"Speakers": [
"2",
"3"
]
What I tried to achieve was an output where the documents are retrieved as if putting the doc of the linked document in the result like
"_id": "4",
"type": "presentation",
"Sessions": [
"Title of Session"
],
"PresentationTitle": "Title of Talk",
"files": [
{
"Filename": "presentationfile.pptx",
}
],
"Speakers": [
{
"FirstName": "Mark",
"LastName": "Webber"
},
{
"FirstName": "Horst",
"LastName": "Muller"
}
]
or something similar without denormalizing the data. I tried with map/reduce, Mango and pouchdb-find, but without luck.
Is that even possible in a NoSQL-World?

There is actually a really neat feature in CouchDB called Linked Documents which allows you to effectively do joins.
The gist is that if you emit an object with a _id property as a value, then the behavior of include_docs=true will fetch the linked document instead of the source document. (the docs I linked to above have a detailed example of this)

get values from JSON given by randomuser.me and loop through to append in divs

hoping to use randomuser.me in a prototype i'm putting together (html, css, jquery)
I need to use its api to access profile photos.
I've got this code puling in the JSON as they show in their documentation:
$.ajax({
url: 'https://randomuser.me/api/?results=5&gender=female',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
});
Now I need to get the url from the picture value in the JSON and write it to the background-image css of a group of divs...I imagine by creating some kind of loop, anybody have an easy to understand way of doing this?
the JSON returned looks like this:
"results": [
{
"gender": "male",
"name": {
"title": "mr",
"first": "romain",
"last": "hoogmoed"
},
"location": {
"street": "1861 jan pieterszoon coenstraat",
"city": "maasdriel",
"state": "zeeland",
"postcode": 69217
},
"email": "romain.hoogmoed#example.com",
"login": {
"username": "lazyduck408",
"password": "jokers",
"salt": "UGtRFz4N",
"md5": "6d83a8c084731ee73eb5f9398b923183",
"sha1": "cb21097d8c430f2716538e365447910d90476f6e",
"sha256": "5a9b09c86195b8d8b01ee219d7d9794e2abb6641a2351850c49c309f1fc204a0"
},
"dob": "1983-07-14 07:29:45",
"registered": "2010-09-24 02:10:42",
"phone": "(656)-976-4980",
"cell": "(065)-247-9303",
"id": {
"name": "BSN",
"value": "04242023"
},
"picture": {
"large": "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/83.jpg",
"medium": "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/med/men/83.jpg",
"thumbnail": "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/thumb/men/83.jpg"
},
"nat": "NL"
}
],
"info": {
"seed": "2da87e9305069f1d",
"results": 1,
"page": 1,
"version": "1.1"
}
}

If I've got right you need something like this:
$( ".myDivClass" ).each(function( index ) {
$( this ).attr("background-image", results[index].picture.medium));
});
Or if you have in results only one element of array so to do: ...results[0].picture.medium...

Iterate through nested Javascript Objects from API response

I've tried 100 different things, and spend days looking through Google and Stackoverflow, but I can't find a solution to this problem. Everything I call after the body of this API response returns undefined!
The response from Facebook SDK looks like this:
[
{
"body": "[

}, {

"administrator": false,

}
],
"paging": {
"next": "url"
}
]"
},{
"body": "{
"data": [
{

This response is from a batch call. If I call them separately, I can easily iterate through the responses, and get everything from them. When I call them in the batch though, I can't get past "body", and I need to use a batch call.
console.log(response[0].body); will return the object inside the body of the first part of the response, but console.log(response[0].body.data); returns undefined. I just don't get it. This should be simple but it's like there's a lock on the door and I don't have the right key.
I normally have no issue iterating through objects, so I don't need a generalized answer. I need help seeing whatever it is here that I don't see. Why does the console show undefined when I call anything after the body, and what do I need to be doing to get any of these values?

That JSON contains nested JSON. body seems to be a string. Use
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);

The values from the body are just strings.which are embedded as json.So firstly you would need to parse them using JSON.parse.
The code would be like
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);
