I'm currently developing an application that focuses on playlists. Utilizing MongoDB with mongoose, I am storing videos within each playlist using an array structure as demonstrated below:
{
_id: ObjectId("61ca1d0ddb66b3c5ff93df9c"),
name: "Playlist A",
videos: [
{
title: "Video 1",
url: "www.YouTube.com/video1",
startTime: "20",
endTime: "40",
_id: ObjectId("61ca1d1ddb66b3c5ff93e0ba")
},
...
]
}
My goal is to remove a video from a playlist based on the _id of the video. Despite researching solutions online, the methods I've attempted have not been successful. This is what my current approach looks like:
Playlist.updateOne(
{ _id: req.params.playlistId },
{ $pull: { videos: { _id: req.params.vidId } } }
)
After executing the provided code and examining the output, I observe the following results (although unsure if this information is pertinent):
{
acknowledged: true,
modifiedCount: 1,
upsertedId: null,
upsertedCount: 0,
matchedCount: 1
}
If any additional details are required, feel free to ask as this marks my first time reaching out for assistance :)
