I have a simple Mongoose schema called Question that stores a question and its possible answers. Answers are a separate schema and are stored in Questions as embedded documents.
Here's the schema:
var ResponseSchema = new Schema({});
var AnswerSchema = new Schema({
answer : String
, responses : [ResponseSchema]
});
var QuestionSchema = new Schema({
question : {type: String, validate: [lengthValidator, "can't be blank."]}
, answers : [AnswerSchema]
});
I'm trying to create a form (I'm using express and jade) that allows a user to enter a question and some answers.
Here's what I have so far:
form(action='/questions', method='post')
fieldset
p
label Question
input(type='text', name="question[question]")
div
input(type='submit', value='Create Question')
And h开发者_JAVA百科ere's how I save it:
app.post('/questions', function(req, res, next) {
var question = new Question(req.param('question'));
question.save(function(err) {
if (err) return next(err);
req.flash('info', 'New question created.');
res.redirect('/questions');
});
});
This works great but leads me to my question... how would I add answers in this form?
(or a more general question, how would I put an embedded document in a form like this?)
I tried Googling around and looking at lots of examples and I didn't run into this, thanks for taking a look.
You can "push" answers into the answers array like this:
question.answers.push( { answer: "an answer here" });
