How to manipulate nested mongoose schemas?

Question

Mongoose

const User = new Schema(name:String, messages:[{message:String}])
async function Create(req, res) {
    const {id} = req.body
    let user = await User.findById(id)
    user.messages.create({message: 'MessageText'})
    user.save()
    res.send(user)
}

The create method does not work, the data is not saved, and there is not even an error.
Are there other ways to manipulate nested schemas? (except push)

Answer 1

function is written in a root incorrectly. I recommend reading the mongoose documentation - schema, model. you also need to define a collection in which you will store all this. Among other things, it's not clear to me where you expect to receive this very request - there is no endpoint created that would accept a post request.
The described code should not work. Start by watching tutorials on working with the database.
And yet, asynchronous requests to the server should catch possible errors in a good way - the easiest way is to wrap calls in a try / catch block. Otherwise, you will not understand at what stage something went wrong. You can also watch it on the tube.

Am I missing something or should I call user.messages.create?
